Here are 2 scans from a film I picked up. It was in a Can marked Dog
Scents.
It is about 600-700 feet, no edge codes. The only edge printing is
:Property of Pathe Exchange, Not to be Sold. It looks to be set in an
amusement park, 2 suitors after 1 girl. No leader, intertitles appear
later, but no logo, or anything to identify it. Any leads, etc
gratefully accepted.

I tried clicking on the links you gave and all I got were tripod error
messages.

Judging by the lighting and the hats, I'd have to say this is the
long-lost prequel London Before Midnight.

Yes, I kid...but man, that is one ginormous Kewpie doll in the second
shot! My Kewpie-collecting cousin would give her eyeteeth for one of
those...

I got errors as well, even when copying and pasting the URL into a new browser.

That will indeed be the result, the other material I have picked up
recently (nothing earth shattering) has already been deposited with a
few places. This is the last item.

Looks more to me like the 1928 film "Skyscraper" with William Boyd and Alberta
Vaughn.

My first thought was the amuseument park sequence from THE COCK-EYED WORLD, but
Rob's likely correct, as that >is< Alberta Vaughn. (Or her lookalike sister
Ada-Mae Vaughn?)

That may be one of the very rare Kewpie Morgan dolls.

I vote with Rob. That looks like Wm Boyd on the right and there is a scene
like this in SKYSCRAPER.
