We have popular classic titles as well as rare and obscure,

and featuring a silhouette animation by Tony Sarg as prologue.
Here are frames from the film, which is on camphor diacetate safety stock.

We'd love to hear from anyone who might have heard about this film in the past.
Director Joseph Rothman was alive at least as late as the 1950s
and may have told family members about his attempts to get "So This Is Eden" distributed.
Surely someone from the cast or crew would have made remarks to friends or relatives...
More of the available facts to come!
