Forwarded msg below regarding the film "The Lost Colony" (ca. 1921).  I 
found a reference to the film on Folkstreams under Tom Whiteside's bio: 
http://www.folkstreams.net/filmmaker,135, but nothing's turning up at 
Wilson Library.

Is anyone familiar with this title or it's whereabouts?


Thanks,

Stephanie

Stephanie:

I thought I would check with you first.  Do you know anything about 
these films?

If not (or if so!), just let me know.

Thanks.

To Whom it May Concern:

My name is Maria Fosheim  Lund, and I am a research assistant at  
Columbia University on the Women Film Pioneers project by Professor  
Jane Gaines. We are currently completing a book manuscript where over  
a hundred women working in the silent era each have their separate  
entry, including Elizabeth Grimball who made one film known as The  
Lost Colony Film - -or sometimes referred to as The Earliest English  
Expedition and Attempted Settlements in the Territory Now the United  
States. We are currently trying to locate this film we know to be  
extant, and we have been told it is in your archives. Can you confirm  
that it is, and if yes - what gauge (16mm, 35mm?) and how many reels?  
Also if you have a full list of credits, that would be helpful to us  
as well as to researchers and scholars in this field.

We really appreciate your help!

Best Regards,
