Sapho is a lost[1] 1913 silent film feature drama directed by Lucius Henderson and is based on the play of the same name by Alphonse Daudet and Adolphe Belot. It stars stage actress Florence Roberts and Shelley Hull.[2][3] It was produced by the Majestic Motion Picture Company and released by World's Special Films. As with Queen Elizabeth (1912) and Resurrection (1912), the film was one of the first features to star a major actress known by name. It competed with a four-reel French film that same year, 1913.[4]
Sapho as a play, written by Clyde Fitch, was produced by Olga Nethersole on Broadway in 1900 to acclaim but also tinged with scandal as the play ran afoul of the New York Police Department, who shut it down for a time and arrested its stars Olga Nethersole and Hamilton Revelle.[5]
