Talk:Ring Up the Curtain

Photo doesn't actually appear in the movie
Having just watched Ring Up the Curtain, I can say with confidence that the image in the infobox File:Ring Up the Curtain (1919) - 1.jpg doesn't appear anywhere in the film. Perhaps it was a promotional photo which Moving Picture World mistakenly characterized as a still? If you go to page 666 of the relevant issue of Moving Picture World (which is available at the Internet Archive and where the Wikipedia image file says the image originates), the picture doesn't appear, so the attribution appears to be inaccurate. I'm reluctant to change anything here as I have little experience editing pictures on Wiki, I don't know what I'd replace the image with, and "I just saw the movie myself" probably qualifies as original research. Any suggestions? Tigercompanion25 (talk) 04:09, 18 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this. Probably worth alerting the editor who uploaded it - - can you help with this query?  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:04, 18 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I have not seen the film, but the caption in the magazine where the image appears, Moving Picture World (May 3, 1919, page 666), clearly states that it is a scene in the film. Although it is possible that the scene depicted was edited out of the final film, it is easier to conclude that the caption is incorrect and that it was a promotional still that was posed on the set of the film. Note that the definition of film still includes all the posed shots associated with the film (although the best are still scenes from the film). I suggest (and will implement) that the caption for the article be revised to "promotional still" to reflect your review of the film if that is an agreeable . Deanlaw (talk) 13:27, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Deanlaw, that sounds like an excellent solution. I greatly appreciate your work in connecting images to film articles. My thanks also to for knowing where to go with this. Tigercompanion25 (talk) 16:50, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
