Are there any holdings on the following Clara Bow films? There was a BBC documentary a few years back that looked like it included footage from the following:

The Runaway (1926)

Rough House Rosie (1927) (non-trailer footage)

Red Hair (1928) (including opening credits)

Any information you can provide would be appreciated!

The credits for Red Hair and a fragment of a colour screen test exist. There was a big gasp when the credit sequence re-premiered at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival a couple of years back. We were hoping we were about to be told that the film had been rediscovered. Alas, it seems this is all that is left.

S.w.a.c., I'm the one who wrote the article about SLEUTHS AT THE FLORAL PARADE, that's why I was asking about it.

Folks have already covered Red Hair. Nothing on Runaway or Rough House Rosie other than trailer for one.

Hi all

I am trying to locate a copy of the 1913 film “A picture of Dorian Gray” and the archivist at UCLA Film & Television Archive suggested asking this forum.

The film details are:
· “A picture of Dorian Gray” or "Dorian Grey"
· Released in March 1913
· Directed by Phillips Smalley
· Starring Wallace Reid
· Lois Weber wrote the film
Black and white silent 1 reel short film shot on 35mm film.

So far, I’ve been unable to find many online references to this film and the main information has come from Wikipedia and IMBD.

Many thanks for any help you can provide. If you can suggest other sources, I would be very grateful.

Nicola
Peter

Though several P. Smalley films survive, no record of that one at an archive alas. The 1915 Thanhouser version of that title does. See you Sunday the 20th!
