Herbert G. Ponting's chronicle of Captain Robert Scott's heroic and ultimately tragic race for the South Pole was originally released in 1913.

In the early years of feature film production, Fox Film Corporation launched a series known as the "Sunset Kiddies" movies--lavish productions with most of the central roles played by children. Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp is one of these historic films. The cast of youngsters is headed by 6-year-old Francis Carpenter as Aladdin and 7-year-old Virginia Lee Corbin as the Princess who falls in love with him. Adult co-star Elmo Lincoln (the screen's first Tarzan) plays the towering genie that emerges from the lamp. Originally an 8-reel film, only 4 reels have survived the ravages of time, but even in the film's severely abridged current form, it is a rarity well worth seeing. Chester M. Franklin/Sidney A. Franklin---USA---1917---41 mins.

Five silent two-reel comedies made by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle at the peak of his popularity and creative freedom. Made after Arbuckle left Keystone to set up his own production unit at Paramount, these historic shorts also feature the great Buster Keaton in his earliest screen performances. The Butcher Boy (1917) was not only Arbuckle's first independent production, but also Keaton's film debut. The Bell Boy (1918) features Fatty and Buster as incompetent hotel employees. Out West (1918) is a broad western parody . Moonshine (1918) is a genuine comedy classic that includes a sharp jab at Chaplin's pathos-filled endings. Lastly there is The Hayseed (1919), in which Keaton's "Great Stone Face" persona really begins to take shape. All the films have been digitally mastered from the best surviving materials. They are shown at correct projection speeds with restored intertitles and color tinting, and new music scores and sound effects by the Alloy Orchestra. Roscoe Arbuckle---USA---1917-1919---125 mins.

This collection includes five more Fatty Arbuckle shorts featuring a newcomer by the name of Buster Keaton in the cast. Arbuckle was among the most famous screen stars in the world when these two-reel comedies were released by Paramount, who gave the star and director complete artistic freedom to lure him away from Keystone. Hiring Keaton was one of his first decisions and in Back Stage (1919), you can see the genius emerging within the new star. Good Night Nurse (1918) is a hilarious comic nightmare, complete with Fatty in nurse drag, cracking up Dr. Keaton. In Coney Island (1918), Arbuckle, his nephew Al St. John and Keaton vie for the heart of the same girl. The Rough House (1918) includes Arbuckle's "roll dance," the inspiration for a similar gag in Chaplin's masterpiece, The Gold Rush. Finally, The Garage (1920) is considered Buster's "spin-off" film, as he then went on to star in his own legendary films. All films have been digitally mastered from the best surviving materials. They are shown at correct projection speeds with restored intertitles and color tinting, and new music Roscoe Arbuckle---USA---1918-1920---121 mins.
