Viola Dana hanged at the conclusion of riders of the night 1918. She dies for her boyfriends crime. The film is lost like many she made with her then husband Mr Collins.

surely, in some dusty cellar on a back lot at mgm, there must be a copy. i wonder if it actually showed her drop and dying

 

I've contacted the owner of silentfilmsondvd.co.uk on this movie before, and he recommended me to a forum where people post requests. I went there and saw most of the requests were not resolved. I gave up hope :(

 

As I mentioned it's listed as lost at the moment. All that remains is a few stills etc..,

 

Different photo though very similar.

No longer listed as lost. A print is held at the eye institute Amsterdam.

 

I've read recently that she is actually saved from hanging.

 

Paul already has the high quality version in the archive:
