Starring:
Grace Darling, Harry Fox
Directed by:
Leopold and Theodore Wharton
Written by:
Basil Dickey
An absolutely amazing find--a lost silent serial from 1916 now viewable for the first time in over 80 years! And transferred in sparkling, pristine quality, from the Marion Davies Collection's original nitrate film negative! Amazingly clean image with excellent contrast, looking just as it did when first released. The picture quality is nothing short of stunning, especially for a film that is now 87 years old. Reassembled and tinted according to the original instructions (according to notes written on the negative itself!) and with a re-created missing chapter, new musical scores by Eric Stedman, a new recording of "Beatrice Fairfax, Tell Me What to Do" By Laura Bowman, bios and tons of extras. 1 DVD set with illustrated menus. Two more volumes will be released.
Filmed primarily in Ithaca, New York by the Wharton brothers, who also lensed the serials The Exploits of Elaine and The Mysteries of Myra. Includes five 25-minute episodes from the long-lost 1916 series with a new original music score. Four are complete and one (Ep. 3) is almost-complete, the last 1 minute has been reconstructed (Episode 1, which originally included a cameo by William Randolph Hearst himself, is not known to exist, but a re-creation of it by "Beatrice" herself, from an existing plot summary, is included here). Beatrice, the original advice-to-the-lovelorn reporter and her friend and not-so-secret admirer Jimmy Barton investigate calls for help and escape exotic perils and dangers.
