Desc: The Golden Claw: Directed by Reginald Barker. With Bessie Barriscale, Frank Mills, Wedgwood Nowell, Truly Shattuck. Lillian Hillary's mother encourages her to marry a rich man after her father's death and the loss of the family fortune. She chooses Bert Werden, who is more wholesome than her other wealthy suitor, financier Graham Henderson. When Werden loses his fortune, Lillian's goading causes him to work night and day dealing in the stock market. Although he regains his fortune, his health soon suffers and he develops an obsession with making money. Werden neglects Lillian, who misses his attentions. After Werden forgets their third wedding anniversary, he responds to Lillian's displeasure by coldly handing her a $50,000 check. When Henderson tries to gain control of a syndicate to bankrupt Werden so Lillian will leave him, Werden, to save himself, asks her to give the check back, but she refuses. Thinking that Lillian will accept Henderson, Werden is about to shoot himself when he overhears her tell Henderson that she refused Werden's request so that he would go broke and forget about greed. Werden sends Henderson away and is reconciled with his wife.
