CLASS 11 — Reconstructed History 119 REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER A-253 and A-254 Lincoln the Lover Vitagraph Ralph Ince as Abraham Lincoln and Anita Stewart as Ann Rutledge. Lincoln's love for Ann, his renunciation in favor of his rival, and the youthful Ann's death furnish one of .the few tender episodes in the otherwise bleak and troublous life of America's great patriot and martyred president. A-255 and A-256 Napoleon and Josephine Vitagraph An interesting reconstructed historical subject, showing a number of episodes in the lives of Napoleon and Josephine, beginning with their first acquaintance with each other and portraying the romantic and ceremonial life of Napoleon rather than the well-known warlike side. The elaborate ceremonies of the coronation and later the divorce and separation are particularly gorgeous in their settings. References: Life of Napoleon. — J. H. Rose. Histoire de Napoleon. — Pierre Lanfren. A-267 and A-268 Man's Genesis Biograph Robert Harron, Mae Marsh and Wilfred Lucas An allegorical reproduction of the early stone age, showing how physical inferiority stimulated the mind to the invention of the club, which was man's first weapon of defense and offense.
