The Chest of Fortune, 1914
Kalem's two-reeler, in its last scene.
What
Kalem presents The Chest of Fortune, complete in two parts: a 1914 colour lithograph, 104 by 70 cm, captioned The explanation and reconciliation.
Why
Two reels was a long picture in 1914, and the poster says so in its first line.
Notice
The caption gives away the ending: the explanation, then the reconciliation.
“A two-part promise”
