Note that the character Arsene Lupin was created by French author Maurice Leblanc in a magazine story in 1905, and the first movie version with this character was in 1909, but this was the first American feature with this master thief (he would be later played by John Barrymore in the classic 1932 movie). Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that any movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned anything other than a one-sheet, a pressbook, a single lobby card, and a glass slide from this movie in all our years of auctioning. That glass slide has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only one we have ever auctioned! Note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: very good to fine.
