REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER
A-170to A-179 The Raven Essanay
Henry Walthall, War da Howard
A wonderful impersonation of Edgar Allen Poe by Henry B. Walthall. One of the most artistic productions in our repertoire. Poe, a young college student of some literary ability is in love with Virginia Clemm, who marries him after he has been cut off by his family and left penniless. They live happily but are reduced to poverty by Virginia's illness and Poe's inability to sell his writings. The illness proves fatal, Virginia dies and Poe's continued worries and disappointments unabalance his mind. He longs for Virginia and has frequent illusions in which she is again with him, only to disappear when he attempts to touch her. He is in this state of mind when late one night he hears a sound at his window and upon opening it finds a raven which comes into the room. The action of Poe's deathless masterpiece, "The Raven." follows. The "Lenore" is Virginia. To the spectator who has seen the events leading up to the raven's visit, the poem takes on a new meaning. Mr. Walthall's impersonation is sure to delight even the most critical.
A-180 and A-181 The Faith of Sonny Jim Vitagraph
Bobby Connelly, Mable Kelly, Teft Johnson
Some of the other boys try to make Sonny Jim doubt the existence of a real Santa Claus and they come pretty near succeeding, until Sonny Jim falls asleep, cheerlessly contemplating the disastrous possibilities on Christmas Eve. In a wonderful dream, he accompanies Santa Clause on his rounds and again has his faith fully restored. A very intelligent dog adds much to the interest.
A192 to A195 The Deerslayer Vitagraph
Harry T. Morey, Hal Reid, Evelyn Dominicis, Florence Turner, Edward Thomas, Wallace Reid
James Fenimore Cooper's famous story of pioneer days carefully re-enacted. The well known characters Hurry Harry, The Deerslayer, Hutter, with his daughters, Judith and Hetty, Chingachgook, Hist, and the others live again upon the screen, where the spectator follows their exciting fights with the Indians and other adventures. A combat between Hurry Harry, Hutter and several Indians, when Hutter is scalped is most thrilling. The beautiful scenery adds to the enjoyment of the picture.
A196 to A199 A Daughter of Israel Vitagraph
Norma Tahnadge, Donald Hall, Van Dye Brooke, Edward Elkas, Violet Doris
A modern drama hinged upon the adoption of the little daughter of a Russian immigrant whose father was a political prisoner in Siberia, by a benevolent and lovable Hebrew pawnbroker. This little girl grows up under the tender affection of the old pawnbroker and his sister, and shows such musical talent that she is given violin lessons by a celebrated Russian violinist whose nephew falls in love with her. When it is discovered from the old pawnbroker that she is not herself a daughter of Israel, but is really the daughter of the celebrated Russian violinist, all ends well. The double part of mother and later the daughter is played by Norma Talmadge.
