Street Angel
A spirited young woman finds herself destitute and on the streets before joining a traveling carnival, where she meets a vagabond painter.
From the archive
I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. Nominee of three Academy Awards, with lead Janet Gaynor taking the award for best actress, Street Angel is about a young woman who turns to crime to help her ailing mother. After she is caught, she escapes and joins a traveling circus, though it seems as if the law isn't far behind.
