Following the successful telecasts of Othello (1922) and The Eagle (1925), New York City's WJZ (Channel 7), began a weekly series of Sunday evening silent film feature presentations, shown more or less in their entirety, which aired intermittently for the next twelve months. This feature was initially broadcast Sunday 19 December 1948, and, like the rest of the series, aired simultaneously on sister stations WFIL (Channel 6) (Philadelphia) and freshly launched WAAM (Channel 13) (Baltimore), as well as in Washington DC the following Thursday 23 December 1948 on WMAL (Channel 7), an innovation at the time; the following week's selection would be Hands Up! (1926); in Chicago, this one was first telecast Wednesday 9 March 1949 on WENR (Channel 7) as part of their Flicker Favorites series.
