John Barrymore Earliest known surviving film (1915)

A 10 minute segment from Jack's 5th and earliest known surviving movie - The Incorrigible Dukane (1915). A Famous Players Picture directed by James Durkin. The film also starred Helen Weir and W.T. Carleton and are also appearing in this clip. Apologies for the audio. Only the right speaker wanted to work.
Raffles, The Amateur Cracksman (1917) - Jack's 9th movie - is his next known earliest film to survive.

Thanks for sharing Clementine. Glad I found this it was waiting on my 'most recent seen' page. You've come through again quite the surprise for me today. Earlier in the I've seen somebody has posted John's "The Sea Beast" and "Raffles"(1917). I've been waiting to see them all and hoping The Sea Beast gets a full DVD type restoration if that's possible. what do you think. Thanks a mil for this treat!

@deepseadirt Thanks Deepsea. You're quite the Barrymore fan. I've also uploaded the prologue scene from GENERAL CRACK. Have you seen that yet?

so ive always wondered, how did they get the text to appear on screen? what technology was used to achieve that back in the early 1900's?
