Caprice is a 1913 American silent film produced by Daniel Frohman and Adolph Zukor, released by Famous Players Film Company, and starring Mary Pickford. J. Searle Dawley directed. [1] This film is lost. [2] [3]
A young Minnie Maddern Fiske performed the story on stage in the 1880s, one of her earliest successes as an adult actress. The film adaptation provided Pickford with the opportunity to demonstrate her dramatic range beyond her popular screen persona.
Though Zukor helped finance the film, it was distributed through an arrangement with State's Rights primarily because Paramount Pictures did not yet exist.
