TRAFFIC IN SOULS (1913, Universal) Jane Gail,
Ethel Grandin and Matt Moore star in this sensational exploitation film that put Universal Pictures on the feature film map. It tells how 50,000 girls disappear into the white slavery market, as it was called, in a story that watchers of the TV show “Law & Order” might find familiar.

I'd love to see this. Is the 2008 Perils of the New Land DVD set the best transfer available for home video? https://www.amazon.com/Perils-New-Land- ... 001A8HTXC/

Any news of this getting a new restoration?

Yes, this is a good restoration. It came out before BluRay, so DVD only. David Shepard restored it, and he used more care than Alpha or other PD labels will use.
