The Crossroads of New York

Postby Brent Walker » Fri Jul 09, 2010 5:15 pm

Kudos to David Kiehn (author of Broncho Billy and the Essanay Film Company--which, if you don't yet own, you need to have!) has just informed me that he identified a snippet of film held by the Berlin archive as being from the Sennett feature THE CROSSROADS OF NEW YORK--the first footage I know of existing from that film. There are some frame captures on the site--David made some identifications, and so did I.
