Uncle Tom's Cabin (1910)

Trivia

Uncle Tom's Cabin

Edit
Quote from the New York Dramatic Mirror, 1910

"Concerning the Vitagraph dramatization of the same story, The New York Dramatic Mirror noted, in part: "The idea of presenting this ever-popular drama in motion pictures is not new, but the idea of dividing it into three parts of one reel each is a decided innovation. In fact, it is the first time an American company has attempted anything of the kind in drama, and in this respect the production must be considered as something of an experiment. Pathé used two reels to produce Drink, from Zola's novel, and we may conclude that the result was not any too favorable, for we have had no other double reels from that company. The Vitagraph took two reels to give us the life of Napoleon, two for Washington, and five for Moses, but these were not dramas. At any rate, the result will be watched with interest, although it will not be safe for producers to argue if three reels of Uncle Tom prove popular that the same thing can be done with other plays. Uncle Tom was always an exception on the stage and may prove so in motion pictures.... As a whole the film must prove notable, but there is one suggestion that occurs with respect to its issue on three separate days. There should be a caption at the end of reel one and two stating that there would be a continuation of the drama on other reels."
This was 10-year-old Genevieve Tobin's first movie.
