Out of the Drifts is a lost 1916 silent film romance produced by the Famous Players Film Company and distributed by Famous Players-Lasky and Paramount Pictures. It was directed by J. Searle Dawley and starred Marguerite Clark.
Based on a story by Hans Christian Andersen, Clark stars as Princess Tweedledee who later falls in love with Prince Charming. An evil witch, yearning to take over a kingdom, turns the Princess's brothers into swans. Moon Fairies vow to turn her brothers back to humans if she knits them seven robes and not speak to another human for a specified amount of time.
Clark plays the daughter of a canal boat captain. She desires to visit the circus against her father's wishes as a bad experience happened years earlier when the captain's wife ran off with a circus performer. Clark eventually falls for a performer herself but is at odds with her father.
A girl named Bernice Sommers gets herself and those around her into trouble by her constant fibbing. The films title makes the contrary allusion that George Washington never told a lie.
