cool! just looked Theda up (only know her from Hollywood Babylon) and it's heartbreaking how many of her films are lost

In my house growing up we had a poster of Theda Bara as Cleopatra attached to the cabinet where we kept our TV. Kind of a striking, sexy image. It was heartbreaking to learn much later that the film is basically gone.

"found in a toy projector"
Does this mean it was an 8mm film? Especially impressive restoration if so.

two months pass...

Was really impressed by Pandora's Box (the new Eureka bluray) and all the backstory about Brooks in the bonus features. Silent films and this one in particular give me a feeling of "what could have been" like little else and I really want to see more because it's been a long time since I seen many. Was wondering if a Bluray of Diary Of A Lost Girl would follow but there already is one from 2014.
