Accidentally Preserved: Volume 5

Unseen by the public for decades, these classic comedy shorts from the silent era underwent an "accidental preservation" in the 1930s and ‘40s when companies like Kodascope and Universal Show-at-Home transferred the original, fragile 35mm nitrate prints to a more durable 16mm safety film, or in some cases were released to the European market on 9.5mm stock. Each short includes a new musical score by film historian Ben Model. Two-disc set includes "Lorraine of the Lions" (1925), "Love at First Flight" (1928), "Hoofbeats of Vengeance" (1928), and "The Fourth Commandment" (1927). Silent with music score.
