Send your thoughts and prayers to David Shepard

Thank you,

Callan

Found fragment of nitrate!

I recently bought a nitrate film fragment from an antique store. the only info I have is its from Kodak stock dated 1923. I was able to photograph about 25 seconds, see attached file below. Does anyone have any more information on the actors or the film?
