A Cry at Midnight (1921)
Date is wrong
The credits for this film are correct, but it was part of the 1920 series of ten Nick Carter films made by Broadwell Productions, not a 1915 release. I'm not sure where the originator got his information, but the evidence for 1920 is incontrovertible. When Broadwell ran out of money, the production man, Glavey, picked up the reins and with Murray Garsson produced four more films, all with Edmund Lowe in the role of Nick Carter. The films in the Carrigan series were The $100,000 Kiss Among the Counterfeiters A Cry at Midnight Nick Carter Down East The Mysterious Bond Case Birds of Prey Sealed Orders The Path of the Spendthrift Dodging the Law The Crimson Clue
The four Lowe films were A Game of Craft (NOT 'Graft') The Last Call The Spirit of Evil Unseen Foes
The Blue Riders (1916)
Great story. Not true.
I don't know where the previous reviewer got his information, but the Liberty Boys series wasn't produced and released until 1927! In the Feb. 28, 1924 issue of The Film Daily the announcement is made that "Tefft Johnson declared yesterday he had purchased the rights to "The Liberty Boys of '76," the juvenile stories published by Harry E. Wolff
..Johnson intends making the stories in two reel form and has completed plan for a series of twelve." Similar announcement is in the March 22, 1924 Exhibitor's Trade Review which contains the additional information that "There was considerable competition for the screen rights
.The series is to be directed by Mr. Johnson." The next announcement I've found is in the Film Daily for January 11, 1927 -- three years later. The Liberty Boys company is on location in Philadelphia, "shooting scenes on the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition grounds." Ads in the Sept. 22 , 1927 of the Film Daily announce that three of the six proposed Liberty Boys pictures are available for bookings. The company now goes under the name, "The Boys of '76 Film Corporation." Three titles were announced: Fighting the Redskins, In the Hands of the Enemy, and Buddy to the Rescue. The Blue Rider still exists and was released on DVD by the Serial Squadron in 2012. Stills from a fifth film, The Death Signal, recently turned up on eBay. Thus, it's possible that a six film package might have been completed.
