Since "A Modern Cinderella" is a lost film, I can't really properly review it. However, surviving summaries indicate that it's an update of the old Cinderella story with Joyce (June Caprice) as a neglected younger daughter and Tom (Frank Morgan) as the love interest. The unknown Betty Prendergast stars as the older sister Polly.
"A Modern Cinderella" was one of June Caprice's successful films from the 1916-1921 period, after which she retired to raise her daughter and sadly passed away in 1936 at age 40. I would really love to see this film or the other Morgan-Caprice pairing, "Child of the Wild", but Fox's silent films were all destroyed in a fire in the 1930s. Let's hope that this or another June Caprice film turns up somewhere, because I believe that all of her films are considered lost.
