Lenore Ulrich in "The Heart of Paula" (1916)

The Heart of Paula is a 1916 American silent film directed by Julia Crawford Ivers and William Desmond Taylor, starring Lenore Ulric. This film survives at the Library of Congress.

As briefly-described in a 1916 publication, this five-reel film is a "story of romance and adventure in Mexico. Lenore Ulrich is the Spanish girl who loves an American engineer."

Two endings were prepared for the film—one happy and one tragic. This was a first, and critics were asked to vote for which ending they preferred, but the vote ended in a tie.
