Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1912 / Lucius Henderson) - Sepiatone

[MaddieL1000]

I'm so glad I've seen this clip, Lucius Henderson was married to my husbands great aunt Gretchen Lyons. We had heard of his connection with the first Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, so it's great to see it. Also heard he claimed to have discovered Rudolf Valentino

this is one of the few versions in wich the incident with the little girl on the street appears, isnt it?

Breathtaking music. Thank you for posting. It reminds me of the simplicity we used to experience as a race. The newer complexities have their benefits and I am glad I live in the time that I do but it's fun to look upon this and try to imagine what it was like back then on a day to day existence. Cranking cars and driving them if you can afford to have one, no need for a liscense. Picking cotton for a quarter a bag(large trash bag size) and being really happy about having any sugar in the house.

Thanks so much for posting I am a great afficionnado of the silent era and horror genre in particular. At the end looks like he "stays" Hyde? Not sure because of the nitrate decompostition on the print. Great piece of cinehistory from the days before Hollywood had foresaken performance & imagination for formulae and CGI
