What a shame. I'd read a couple years ago that it hadn't yet been found, but wasn't certain that it continued to be lost. There's a lot of stuff from around that time and much earlier that reading about the history of horror makes me really want to check out. It would, for example, be amazing to see a restored Melies (I know there's an accent mark I just don't know the keyboard command) picture. It's amazing what he did for film, and yet he ended up running a candy cart. Restoring and finding old films is the only thing I'll really give Ted Turner any props for. My mind was completely blown when he showed Der Golem, or some semblance of it.
