The Last Thrust (1916) - Lost?

Post by Micromegas » Fri Apr 04, 2014 8:47 am

Hello Nitratevilleans,

I'm researching a one real comedy film called The Last Thrust starring Orral Humphrey. It's a Mutual "Beauty".

Library on Congress informs me that no known print exists in the usual archives (via the FIAF database).

I assume that the film is lost but - in order to do my due diligence - I'd like to ask if anyone knows of its existence in any private collection or elsewhere.

Many thanks,

Steve

Unfortunately, I don't know about that lost film that you're looking for, but, yes, I've uploaded my 6th Lost Nitrate Film project titled "Art and Arthur" ( USA - 1916 ), starring Orral Humphrey right in here ( see 'Collecting and Preservation' category ). Only in 35mm fragment version that runs at 39 seconds at 16:75 fps, as you're in for a big treat to see it just now. :)

Thanks for the response. I'm gathering that TLT is as lost as any film can be.
