UPDATED! From Rosita (1923) starring good old Mary Pickford!
(thank you Myles!!)
I'd sure like to figure out what movie these cells are from. I spent an afternoon putting each little one inside a nice glass slide casing, so they're a little easier to scan. These are the ones I like best, I also like how you can see where the sprockets have worn the perforations:

| I don't know what's going on here. None of the other cells give any clues! |
 |
| Just like my room! |

I did a cleanup job on these two to take out the specks. See Mmm Coffee!
Cute stuff, right? All I know is it's a United Artists movie, something about a castle. Can anyone recognise it?

Myles - you're a star. How on earth did you figure that out! Here's some footage that includes the mysterious stool scene and much of the clippings I have. So cool! Thank you!

Hi Amanda ~ I approached it as Google Ninja Training:
ReplyDelete1. It's a silent movie by United Artists so I was certain the actress was UA co-founder, Mary Pickford.
2. I did a Google Image Search for the terms "The Ferrous Archive" which brought back many of the pictures in your blog including one of the movie cells above.
3. I did a Find Similar Google search on the movie cell that Google had pulled from your blog. It initially returned nothing, but suggested that I try adding a term. So I searched for "[image], Mary Pickford" which returned the scanned page from Imageshack with the "FORD IN 'ROSITA'" caption at the bottom.
4. Searched Wikipedia for "Mary Pickford, Rosita".
Google Geek fun!
