On Saturday, September 22 the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum in Fremont will screen Salomy Jane (1914), the first, most acclaimed, and only surviving production of the California Motion Picture Corporation, which was based in San Rafael.
Salomy Jane will also be shown on Sunday, September 30 at the Rafael Film Center in San Rafael. The two screenings mark only the second time the film has been shown in the Bay Area in the nearly 100 years since it was made.
Here are a couple of vintage articles about the first ever screening of the film, which was a private affair. For more backgroundon Salomy Jane (or Salome Jane as it was also spelled), see the previous post.
