The Last Night of the Barbary Coast

[edit]

As I have noted on Talk:The Last Night of the Barbary Coast the article gives its date as 1913, but includes it n Category:1915 films. I am thus unsure if it is a 1913 film, so I thought I would flag up here. Dunarc (talk) 23:49, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in The Art of the Cinematographer, by Leonard Maltin, co-director Hal Mohr said, "One of the things I did for Sol [Lesser], was in 1913 [bolding mine], when San Francisco had bid to get the Panama Pacific International Exposition to be given there in 1915. ... the City Fathers decided that before the exposition could be given they'd have to clean up the morals of the city, so they announced that on a certain night the Barbary Coast would be closed ... They [Efe Asher and Sid Grauman] were working with Sol, and someone got the idea to film the last night of the Barbary Coast. ... I made these prints myself; we sold it on a state's right basis ..." Later on, he talks about other things he did, and then "By this time war had broken out, the First World War in Europe, and it was 1914." IMDb also says 1913, and Barbary Coast, San Francisco#Demise talks about what happened in 1913.
On the other hand, silentera, Lost San Francisco, the TCM article "Tarzan the Fearless" ("Last Night of the Barbary Coast, a silent short cobbled together from on-the-fly footage taken in 1915 as San Francisco officials were cleaning out and closing down the notorious Barbary Coast district") and the Hollywood Walk of Fame bio for Mohr say 1915.
Overall, I'd go with Mohr and 1913. He was there. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:18, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. Mohr doesn't say the film was released in 1913, now that I think of it, just sold. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:44, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
