Frankenstein is a 1910 film made by Edison Studios that was written and directed by J. Searle Dawley. It was the first motion picture adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The unbilled cast included Augustus Phillips as Dr. Frankenstein, Charles Ogle as the Monster, and Mary Fuller as the doctor’s fiancée.
Shot in three days, it was filmed at the Edison Studios in the Bronx, New York City. Although some sources credit Thomas Edison as the producer, he in fact played no direct part in the activities of the motion picture company that bore his name.

Another great piece of rarely seen footage.
Great picture show! I love it.
(However, it played perfectly on my MacBook Pro, but would not play beyond 5:53 on my Toshiba laptop. I use Firefox on both machines.)
Thank you for saving this piece of history. I can just imagine my grandparents having the daylights scared out of them watching this “back in the day.”
(Yes, my grandparents. I’m no spring chicken.)
Gremlins? I don’t have an explanation.
