Shit! I had no idea the opioid crisis went back that far. See Wallace Reid, who died of a morphine addiction in the early '20s. Several other stars battled addiction around the same time, although their drug of choice was usually cocaine. Even comedies were made back then about coke users. |

They made one about it today and called it Babylon. ![[tongue]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/IgLQhqrYFakygiihCBvT.gif) |

I'm glad I re-read your OP title a bit more carefully. At first glance I thought it said "Last film," instead of "lost." I knew that she made many more films after 1923... in fact, one of her very last films (penultimate?), Call Her Savage (1932), I'm getting ready to watch pretty soon.

Thanks so much for posting this, Rufus-T ! It's fantastic. And that it got preserved on 35mm film is amazing. Don't know how that came to be, but it's a great gift for sure. Oh, and the film was directed by Gregory LaCava of My Man Godfrey and Stage Door fame, so it's probably a good one. Would love to see it one of these days.
I'm sure they've digitized it, but for the record, film is still the best format (at present) to preserve to productions. Even though most films are shot digitally today, the studios then transfer them to film masters, because digital isn't that stable in the long run.
And interestingly, there's a cave in Kansas where the studios have stored many of their film masters for decades so they could stay cool, dark, and safe. LINK |
