Does Thomas Edison's film version of "The Prince and the Pauper" exist
in any known film archives?  (The film is not listed in any of the
finding aids available from the Library of Congress.) According
to _Mark Twain A to Z_,  this film was the source of the only known
moving pictures of Twain -- also known as the Stormfield footage which
was included on the CD of "Twain's World."  How did Edison incorporate
the Stormfield footage of Twain into "The Prince and the Pauper?"

Also, Edison's version of "A Mountain Blizzard" (from _Roughing It_)
is not listed in any of the Library of Congress collections.  Are
any known copies of this film still in existence?

Thanks,
Barb
