Talk:A 29-Cent Robbery

Image edit

I wanted to include an image sourced to the April 1910 Billboard magazine, but the microfilm scan has been entirely ruined. This has made the image completely unusable and there is not enough meaningful data to restore it, let alone make it a worthwhile inclusion. The quarter of a page ad that Thanhouser took out is viewable here if anyone wants to try and salvage it. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:05, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I found a slightly better version and used the whole. I think that's the best I'll get on this one. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 07:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Lead section

  • State in the lead that this was Marie Eline's film debut.

Plot

  • "She is so upset about the theft of her bank that he parents decide to inform the police." Her parents.

Release and reception

  • "The Morning Telegraph said the story was too far-fetched to be believable, but it was done in an amusing way." Need a source here.

References

  • Link the publishers of these sources if possible.

Images

  • Since the film is not lost (at least I assume it isn't), is it possible you could add a film still?

Going to place on hold for now. good888 (talk) 10:17, 21 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Good888 All set. The best image I found was the advertisement which has a really terrible film still on it. This was actually the best of the versions that I had access to. One of the scans was from the Fulton database and it was just pitch-black. This one from the Billboard was another variant that was better preserved, but they may have come from the same source given the damage. I think this one came from the Archive.org scans. The database I use doesn't have any better versions to replace it with either.... and I've been proactive about this too. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:58, 24 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
