AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Yachts and Hearts is an obscure film, which seems to have drawn little attention in the contemporary press.

An advertisement in the Cumberland Argus and Fruitgrowers Advocate describes it as 'A Thrilling Detective Drama, depicting a romance of Sydney Harbour, brimful of local interest' (20 April 1918, p.4) and an advertisement in the Dungog Chronicle added 'See the great motor smash, police raid on gambling saloon, and a girl's thrilling biplane flight over Sydney' (25 June 1918, p.2). The sub-title indicates that the detective portion of the script involved drug smuggling, but little else can be ascertained.
