The Usurer's Grip

4.5
  • Run time: 15 min
  • Premiere: 1912. October 4.

Here with the Edison Company -- most notably Charles Ogle as the usurer -- we see a 'typical' case of the victims of usury. Although offered as a 'realistic' view of the effects of usury, it veers frequently into melodrama.
