Holy cow, this is amazing! This is the only known film footage we have of Valeska Suratt, a home movie of sorts (possibly meant for a newsreel) shot in 1917 according to the Valeska Suratt website, a wonderful resource which I just found out about today.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...
