The house with closed shutters

"The story concerns a young female member of a proud Southern family who saves the family's honor by taking over her brother's military mission. She is killed and buried under her brother's name. Many camera positions were used for scenes of Confederate soldiers leaving home, combat scenes of the infantry behind butresses firing their rifles, and scenes of cavalry skirmishes. The last scenes take place twenty-five years later and show the brother who has been imprisoned to keep others from learning of his cowardly behavior. It is interesting that make-up was used to age the principal actors in this film"--Early motion pictures / Kemp R. Niver.
