Almost the only thing I could say for certain about that film is that Jean is the female who is NOT given the hat. I am pretty sure that if those two women are Clemens' daughters, the one opposite him is Jean and the one with the hat is Clara. What certainty I have, though, comes only from comparing her face and form to pictures I have seen of her from around that time. The other woman looks as though she could be Clara, but it's much harder to see her with any detail. > Producer/Director (Was Edison on location, did he work the camera? EXTRMELY unlikely. I've done a lot of reading into Edison's life and work, and into the history of motions pictures. I have never, as far as I can remember, heard of Edison himself actually running a camera. If he ever did, I'd be interested to hear about it. He had employees who did that sort of thing. > Screenplay/Script? (MT does appear to say something to the > cameraman in = > a solo shot, and there is dialog at the tea table) Yes, it would be interesting to see a pristine copy of the motion picture, with as much of the abrupt changes in contrast minimized, and have a good lip reader go at it. I've been doing some searches today for a better copy of this film, but to no avail. I'm surprised, given it's historical value, that there aren't better copies out there. Carl
