    Click- bait article: "While cleaning her attic, a highly-respected silent film historian found an intact film canister of a lost silent film called Life's Shop Window and it was in like-new condition. This was on 11/19/2014, which was exactly 100 years after the original release date".

    What you see after clicking the article: An article about a nagging SJW and Flat-Earth mother-in-law who lives in a van down by the river with Seymour, a Chris Walken-sounding and silent film-watching vegan cannibal zombie moose.

    On the film: It was directed by a guy named James Gordon Edwards (6/24/1867-12/31/1925) and was based off of a same-named 1907 book by British author Annie Sophie Cory (10/1/1868/8/2/1952).

    The reality: this film and many other Fox films were lost in storage facility fire on July 9, 1937. You see, the film nitrate used in silent film reels is highly explosive.

    Just how bad was the fire? This vault fire destroyed over 40,000 reels of prints and negatives. It is estimated that over over 75% of Fox's pre-1930 feature-length (to be eligible for an Oscar, a film has to be at least 40 min.) were lost. Like with many other lost silent films, you might find some fragments (for example, maybe 30 sec. to 5 min. of a 20 min. short) that are in decent or really bad condition. Film restoration and preservation is important.

    Where did this happen? In Little Ferry, Bergen County, NJ (part of the NYC metro area). Little Ferry is close to Fort Lee, which was the film capital for the American movie industry prior to Hollywood. The 2 respective oldest major American film companies, Universal and Paramount, got their star in Fort Lee. By the 1930s, a majority of the West Coast film companies moved to California, especially L.A., because the climate was more practical and convenient.
