This photoprint shows a scene from a motion picture titled *A Bird in a Gilded Cage*, the second scene in the sequence. The title borrows from a popular 1900 song about a woman who trades love for wealth and finds herself trapped, a story that suited the melodramas of the period. The Edison Manufacturing Co. registered prints like this one for copyright around 1909, when early films were often protected by paper photoprints of individual scenes. The record's details come from a caption card and have not been independently verified.
