User:ChrisGualtieri/Silent film still identifications

This is a list of film still identifications that I have personally identified or confirmed that are not otherwise well-known and in many cases currently unlisted or erroneously identified. A total confirmation is distinguished from assumption.


 * Thanhouser - Looking Forward - Jonathan Silent Film Collection listed as Thanhouser Japanese Company production - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World.
 * Thanhouser - She Stoops to Conquer - Jonathan Silent Film Collection listed as Thanhouser silent film - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World.
 * Thanhouser - Dots and Dashes - Jonathan Silent Film Collection listed as Set with Thanhouser logo - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World.
 * Thanhouser - The Vicar Of Wakefield - Jonathan Silent Film Collection listed as Thanhouser scene with homing pigeon - Confirmed. This (production) film still is clearly from the production of The Vicar Of Wakefield though it was not in the film itself. Identification is confirmed by the actress', her attire and distinctive hat and the building matching the one used in the scene. It should be noted that it appears as if the cage was higher in this still than the one used in the film. This still was likely before the scene itself because the height differences is not insignificant - 5-6 inches difference is possible. Confirm with door placement.
 * Thanhouser - The Mummy - Jonathan Silent Film Collection listed as Thanhouser drama with William Garwood - Confirmed by similarities to advertisement in Moving Picture World. Same attire as in film. The scene does not match the synopsis at any definite point. Possible production still.
 * Thanhouser - A Thanksgiving Surprise - Jonathan Silent Film Collection - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World which shows the same setting (table, tablecloth, carpet, wallpaper etc.) This is the climax of the film.
 * Thanhouser - A Thanksgiving Surprise - Jonathan Silent Film Collection - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World.
 * Thanhouser - Adrift - Jonathan Silent Film Collection and  - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World.
 * Thanhouser - Oh, What A Knight! - Jonathan Silent Film Collection - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World. Different shot, but attire and setting match.
 * Thanhouser - John Halifax, Gentleman - Jonathan Silent Film Collection  - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World.
 * Thanhouser - The Pasha's Daughter - Jonathan Silent Film Collection - Confirmed by extant film. From beginning of film, at the Turk's house.
 * Thanhouser - Baseball and Bloomers - Jonathan Silent Film Collection - Confirmed by advertisement in Moving Picture World. This was the same shot which was used for the advertisement, was simply cropped.

Notes -
 * Thanhouser still - Jonathan Silent Film Collection listed as Lucius Henderson, director, actor connected with Thanhouser Studios - The aircraft and setting here is identical to The Wild Flower and the Rose. Personally, I think this lends credit to the idea that Henderson directed this film. Suspicions are that this was taken in Belmont Park in Long Island, New York between October 22-30, 1910.


 * Thanhouser - Value—Beyond Price - Jonathan Silent Film Collection - Possible given the summary.
 * Thanhouser - Ten Nights in a Bar Room - Jonathan Silent Film Collection - Possible given summary.
