Some stunning photos of Edna Purviance as Marie St. Clair in "A Woman of Paris". The last photo is Charlie Chaplin directing Edna Purviance in a scene. He did not appear in the film.

The 2 men in Marie St. Clair’s life - her true love Jean Millett (Carl Miller*), a poor struggling artist, weak willed and under the influence of his mother & the man who gives her all the material things in the world, Pierre Revel (Adolphe Menjou**), the richest man in Paris but no love or promise of a future between them.

Charlie Chaplin created this dramatic role for Edna Purviance, hoping it would help towards a career as a dramatic actress. It was his way I’m sure of acknowledging her contribution to his early success as his leading lady from 1915-1923. Edna contributed more to “the tramp’s” continuing evolution and was his greatest and most enduring onscreen partner.

Choosing to not appear in the film had a downside: “A Woman of Paris” was praised by the critics but the public stayed away, seems they did not want to go see a Charlie Chaplin film he was not in. His biographer David Robinson says the film would have done immensely better if Charlie had removed his name from the bill.

In 1976 towards the end of his life Charlie Chaplin prepared a reissue of “A Woman of Paris” - he created a new score:

According to David Robinson: “The score was the last completed work of a creative life that had spanned three quarters of a century”

Erstmal kommt eine Warntafel, daß Chaplin diesmal gar nicht mitspielt, und daß dies sein erstes ernstes und seriöses Drama sei. Ist dann auch ein ganz OK.-seriöses Drama, die schöne Frau, sie liebt den brotlosen Künstler aber, ach!, auch den Luxus und Komfort, den der reiche Schnösel bietet. In Paris! Unter Palmen! Wie so oft wurde die Warnung offensichtlich nicht gelesen, und die Leute waren enttäuscht, daß Chaplin gar nicht mitspielte, und es keine Komödie war, so daß es letztlich auch sein einziges seriöses Drama blieb. Soo seriös ist es auch gar nicht.
