At the time of its release, Traffic in Souls became a huge moneymaker. This melodrama about the white slave trade remains watchable chiefly because of director George Loane Tucker&#8217;s sure touch. Tucker became a major name in the 1910s, but had his career cut short by illness. He died in 1921 at the age of 49. Most of his films are now lost. Traffic in Souls stars Ethel Grandin and Matt Moore, both of whom were quite popular in the 1910s.

&#160;

Though all but completely forgotten today, Christy Cabanne (at times billed as William Christy Cabanne) was a respected name in the 1910s and 1920s. Among his credits are the1916  Douglas Fairbanks  vehicle The Mystery of the Leaping Fish, considered by some Fairbanks&#8217; best film of the 1910s; the highly successful 1925 actioner The Midshipman, which helped to seal Ramon Novarro&#8217;s stardom; and several key scenes in the mammoth 1925 version of Ben-Hur, also starring Novarro.
An apprentice to D. W. Griffith, Cabanne seems to have not only learned a good deal from the (now all but insufferable) Master, but [...]]]></description>
