PEARL WHITE FILMS
(Episodes from The Exploits of Elaine & The Iron Claw)
This disc contains episodes from two of Pearl White's early serials, offering a rarely seen glimpse into what her films looked like at the peak of her popularity. This was a time when characters had such names as The Clutching Hand, The Iron Claw, and The Laughing Mask. Scientific detective Craig Kennedy, along with his secretary Jameson, were working on futuristic devices but always took time out to save Elaine's life whenever the need arose - as it often did. So join us now as we return to the days of hairbreadth escapes, incredible scientific gadgetry, masked heroes and villains, and most importantly the Queen of the serials, Pearl White.
