More on the upcoming Cinesation festival: Among the new additions to the Cinesation film line-up mentioned here several days ago, are The Grub Stake (1923), an adventure tale set among the Yukon gold mines, and starring pioneering female filmmaker Nell Shipman (who also wrote, co-produced, and co-directed - with Bert van Tuyle - the film); The Moonstone (1915), an early film version of William Wilkie Collins’s delightful novel about the mysterious disappearance of an even more mysterious Indian diamond, directed by Frank Crane, and starring Eugene O’Brien and Elaine Hammerstein; and several early shorts featuring future (now mostly forgotten) megastars: Arms and the Gringo (1914), with Wallace Reid and Dorothy Gish; The Sign of the Cucumber (1917), with Eva Novak; Lonesome Luke’s Lively Life (1917), with Harold Lloyd and Bebe Daniels; and Can You Beat It? (1915), with Constance Talmadge.
Cinesation will be held in Massillon, Ohio, from Sep. 28 to Oct. 1.
