East coast still code list for Paramount films?

Post by Frederica » Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:24 pm

Naldi HQ is in possession of a film still featuring Our Beloved Preceptress that we cannot ID. The still is identified as being from THE FEMALE and the date is 1924, but Nita wasn't in any film entitled THE FEMALE, and we so far have not been able to match the clothing or the other actors in the films to other stills we have.

The code number on the still is 526. ID Goddess Miss Dupont thinks that code is the east coast code for either YOU CAN’T FOOL YOUR WIFE or GLIMPSES OF THE MOON, since those fall within the period of the titles for which she has east coast Paramount codes. DON’T CALL IT LOVE had the east coast code #623, HOLLYWOOD #534, THE BREAKING POINT #638, A SAINTED DEVIL #661.

Does anyone have access to more Paramount east coast film code lists?

I have a still from The Female (a shot of Betty Compson and Warner Baxter), and the still code on that is 663.

FYI, THE FEMALE was an LA production.

They know the code for THE FEMALE is the West Coast Code, they are looking for the film that would have this East Coast number. As Frederica notes, it is not DON'T CALL IT LOVE, THE SAINTED DEVIL, or THE BREAKING POINT. Who has East Coast codes for GLIMPSES OF THE MOON and YOU CAN'T FOOL YOUR WIFE.

Oops, didn't read the original clearly enough.

YOU CAN'T FOOL YOUR WIFE is 526.
