By my count, these are the lost or essentially lost early Joan Films. Among her talkies, I think only Letty Lynton might be considered lost due to the copyright kerfuffle, but there's at least a bad copy extant on the Internet. These are all silents. Anyone think we'll ever get to see any of these?
1925
A Slave of Fashion
The Only Thing - copy exists at Eastman museum
Old Clothes - I thought I read that a copy was thought to exist
1926
Paris - 13 sec snippet on YouTube
1927
The Taxi Dancer - her first top billing ☹️
The Understanding Heart
1928
The Law of the Range
Rose-Marie
Four Walls
Dream of Love
1929
The Duke Steps Out - her penultimate silent film

The aforementioned 13 sec of Paris.
Oh, it looks in such good shape. Where the heck is the rest?!?

Hey Tom
I do have a a copy of Ketty Lynton that I got a long time ago. I had a good Joan Crawford connection. It’s good quality too. I’m not sure if we’ll have a chance to check out the other movies you mentioned? I’ll keep my eye out for them.

Fun fact that I learned today. Adrienne Lecouvreur was previously played on the screen by a little known French actress named Sarah Bernhardt. 😉 Uh, wow, that's a tough act to follow! 😃 |

Assuming I'm reading the Library of Congress database correctly, JC films for which no archival information is known include...
The Duke Steps Out
Four Walls
A Slave of Fashion
Rose-Marie

Just started watching TCM documentary on JC and about 8 minutes in there's about 20 seconds of video from The Taxi Dancer, her first top billing. Looks to be in great shape.
Where, oh where can the rest of this movie be?!?
Some screen grabs to follow. Young Joan looks stunningly gorgeous.

Tom; I really like the way you put your own insight on the reviews. You made great observations and added your personal touch. Anyone can post a story plot. I like your writing style. I loved your BOE Our Dancing Daughters review too. I look forward to more. 👍
