Lasky Feature Play Company, Incorporated, production; distributed by Paramount Pictures Corporation. / Produced by Jesse L. Lasky. Scenario by William C. De Mille, from the novel The Goose Girl by Harold McGrath. Cinematography by Percy Hilburn. / Â 12 January 1915 by Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company, Incorporated [LU4166]. Released 25 January 1915. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33: 1 format. Despite the fact that there appears to have been a re-release of this film in 1918, presumably by the merged entities "Famous Players / Jesse L. Lasky, this silent classic appears now to be lost -- no copies recorded in any public or private collections. There appears to be no OCLC listing for this ephemeral publication; the front cover is identical to the third illustration on the IMDB page for the film (except that the one shown on IMDB has a rubber stamp in the box at the foot for an October 12th showing at the "Majestic Theatre" -- whereas ours has a printed notation for a first-run showing at an important DC landmark picture house. For details of the film, see AFI-F1 n. F1.1665; and Bogdanovich-Dwan p. 33. The "Strand" in DC was originally built in 1888 as the Lincoln Music Hall at 9th Street and D Street, which later became known as the Academy of Music and later still, the Orpheum Theatre. Its last incarnation was as the Strand Theatre, a picture palace reportedly with 1100 seats, operating until the building was raized in 1952. The Library of Congress has a photograph of its marquee with electric lights proclaiming "Photo Plays" -- [and 1930's automobiles on the street]. There is a notice in the July 13, 1920 issue of the Washington "Post, " announcing the opening of the newly redecorated Strand Theater. Vaudeville and first run motion pictures. It is unfortunate that so many of Marguerite Clark's films are now lost; she had been a successful stage actress. As a star in the early silent films, for a couple of years she nearly matched Mary Pickford in popularity and box-office appeal. Jesse Lasky "borrowed" her from Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company for this film -- acknowledged in the text. By the end of June, 1916, the two companies had merged. All but one of Marguerite Clark's many films were made for one or another of these two companies; all but five are now considered lost. .
