Clip from 1925's "Sally, Irene, and Mary"

[Admin]

From the YouTube description:

Like so many films from the silent era, once talking pictures arrived, Sally, Irene and Mary went into the vault, with very little chance of being seen again. In the mid-1950’s the George Eastman Museum acquired from M.G.M. a 16mm print for the collection.

In 2018 the Moving Image Department received a grant from the Louis B. Mayer Foundation to restore the film. But for this restoration to look the best, better elements were needed. Thanks to Warner Bros., we were able to borrow their 35mm Fine Grain Master. A fine grain master is a low contrast positive used to print duplicated negatives. This Fine Grain Master was struck off the 1925 original camera negative, which has since decomposed. To make the new negative and prints, we chose Cinema Arts, Inc. because they are known for their excellent work with black and white film. This film is now available in both 35mm and DCP.

Partners in this film restoration include:
Warner Bros. (Burbank, California)
The Louis B. Mayer Foundation (New York, New York)

Laboratory Services Provided by:
Cinema Arts, Inc. (Newfoundland, Pennsylvania)

Wish they'd restore other early JC movies.
Glad I was able to get to see this movie when it was briefly up online.
