This highly hyped Priscilla Dean feature from Universal in 1922 apparently survives, presumably complete according to Silent Era. That is definitely good news. They do not say what archive holds the print? Anyone have that information. Dean certainly seems to have been a very big Star in the early 20's who is today totally forgotten.

I hope you get an answer, Gagman, but when I hear of this film I'm reminded of Stan Laurel's spoof he made at the time called UNDER TWO JAGS. That one is on dvd in the LOST FILMS OF L&H series, and perhaps elsewhere by now.

You are correct; this single reel "travesty", as they were then called, is available on Kino's "Stan Laurel Collection Volume 2". Unfortunately, I can't lead Gagman to the whereabouts of the feature film in question.

I believe MOMA has it. There was a poor video bootleg making the rounds for awhile. Even allowing for the poor quality of the copy, it wasn't particularly exciting.
