Fox Film Corporation presents a Frank Lloyd production
The triumps and tragedies of two English families, the upper-crust Marryots and the working-class Bridges, from 1899 to 1933 are portrayed. - The story presents a view of English life during the first third of the 20th century from New Year's Eve 1899 through New Year's Day 1933, from the point of view of well-to-do London residents Jane and Robert Marryot, their children, their close friends, and their servants. Several historical events affect the lives of the characters or serve as background for the film. Throughout the film, the passage of years is indicated by dates on title cards, with a Medieval cavalcade marching in the background."
