Unidentified Film Stills

This still was included in a group of Paramount films from 1916-1917. The person in the center may be Wallace Reid, and the woman may be Cleo Ridgley.

This still is also probably a Paramount photo from 1916-1917.

This still is almost certainly from a Universal production around 1917. The still code "MCDERMOTT-2268", indicates that the director's last name was "McDermott". There was a director at Universal named John McDermott who directed short dramas and comedies. Some still code lists show this as A WOMAN'S ONLY A WOMAN, but no film of that name was ever released.

The woman appears to be Betty Shade. McDermott directed her in at least four films. Two of the films are comedies, and this photo does not look like a comedy. When He Came Back (1916) was a drama that might fit this photo.

John Davidson on the ground.

This is probably an Edison production still from around 1912–1914. Charles Ogle appears to be the actor at left, and Jenny Bechtel (AKA Mrs. William Bechtel) seems to be the actress at left. The still is copyrighted © 1952 by Universal Pictures, and is stamped July 23, 1952, on the back. It may have been publicity for a "novelty" short that they released at the time. It is hard to tell from the director's profile, but he could be J. Searle Dawley.

The sign above the door is a quote from Exodus in the Bible, “Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land”.

An unknown film. The actor might be Glenn Tryon.

An unknown western. That may be Bill Cody in the cowboy hat at the center.

An unknown western film from the 1910s.  Still code 632-5.

An unknown film circa 1920. Bessie Barriscale at left. Still code B-55 and B9-55.
