This week’s mystery movie was the 1916 New York Motion Picture Co./Triangle Film Corp. production “Hell’s Hinges,” with W.S. Hart, Clara Williams, Jack Standing, Alfred Hollingsworth, Robert McKim, J. Frank Burke and Louise Glaum.
It can be streamed for free at the National Film Preservation Foundation website. (The preserved version lacks an opening title card).
The New York Times only mentions “Hell’s Hinges” in passing, but it was reviewed by Grace Kingsley in the L.A. Times, March 6, 1916.
For Monday, we have a mystery woman.
Update: This is Louise Glaum.
For Tuesday, we have a questionable mystery gent. He does not approve of such goings-on.
Update: This is Alfred Hollingsworth.
Brain Trust roll call: Dan Nather (Monday’s mystery woman).
For Wednesday, we have a pensive mystery gent.
Update: This is Jack Standing.
Brain Trust roll call: Dan Nather (mystery movie and Tuesday’s mystery gent) and Anne Papineau (Monday’s mystery woman).
For Thursday, we have a mystery woman.
Update: This is Clara Williams.
Brain Trust roll call: Mike Hawks (mystery movie and all mystery guests) and Anne Papineau (mystery movie and Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s mystery guests).
For Friday, we have one of the most non-mysterious guests in film.
Update: This is William S. Hart.
Brain Trust roll call: Sue Slutzky (mystery movie and all mystery guests), Mike Hawks (Thursday’s mystery woman), Dan Nather (Wednesday’s and Thursday’s mystery guests) and Anne Papineau (Thursday’s mystery woman).
This looks like a silent movie — is the lady Louise Glaum?

Alfred Hollingsworth today; and the film is one of my favorite William S. Hart pictures, the classic HELL’S HINGES (1916).

That’s former Shakespearean actor William S. Hart. I really need to visit his ranch near Newhall.
