From 1910, comes a D.W. Griffith directed silent dramatic one-reeler. This one with Henry B. Walthall and Dorothy West. From a Blackhawk Films sales catalog: “The alcoholic son of a proud Southern family disgraces himself by running away when he is supposed to deliver an important dispatch during the Civil War. His passionately patriotic sister attires herself in his uniform, delivers the dispatch, carries the Confederate flag into battle and is killed. The son being reported killed, the mother closes the shutters of the family mansion and forbids him ever to show himself outside.”
The 8mm B&W print from Blackhawk Films comes mounted on a 200’ 8mm plastic reel in a Blackhawk box. Stored for years in a climate-controlled environment.
