Synopsis

A novelist receives a letter denying the existence of the characters in his stories. In reply, the novelist looks at a painting called “The Misdeal” by western painter Frederick Remington. As the author stands by the painting, the camera approaches and enters the picture which comes to life.

The dialogue cards are in German for this one. It was rather common for silent movies to be sent to Europe for viewing.

We have been notified that Voices of the West has had its Facebook account permanently disabled.

Why?

We don’t know. FB never is straight with its customers.

All the company says is there’s been a violation of its Terms & Conditions–but which one(s) is never clear.

We don’t even have the opportunity to go to FB “court” to learn more or even appeal their decision. Just “you’re outta here,” and don’t let the barn door hit you on the backside on your way out.

Thanks to all of our former FB friends for your support. And, to FB and META–go pound sand.
