Lola

New York: World Film Corporation, Circa 1914. Vintage program for the 1914 lost silent film, printed for the Grand Theatre of Butler, Pennsylvania, printed on the verso, with a dramatic pictorial center spread featuring two World Film Corporation elephant logos.

Silent film star Clara Kimball Young's first film with World Film Corporation, re-released in 1916 with new intertitles under the title "Without a Soul," both now lost. A variation of both Robert Louis Stevenson's "Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde" and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," wherein the caring and dutiful daughter Lola (Young), killed in a street accident, is revived by her scientist father using an electric-ray machine he invented, only to find she's returned as a soulless and heartless creature of the flesh.

5.5 x 8 inches, Bi-fold. Very Good plus, with a vertical crease, with light foxing and toning at the crease, and small closed tears at the top of the crease on both leaves.
