According to legend,Traffic in Soulswas produced surreptitiously at Universal Pictures Corp. with the producer (Jack Cohn) and director (George Loane Tucker) prepared to buy the picture in case the company wouldn't release it. Exploiting a recent expose of prostitution rings, this "white slavery"story proved a huge financial success.Traffic In Soulsis a very accomplished work for its time, and makes excellent use of its New York City locations.

This supplementary collection of films by pioneer filmmaker Georges Méliès presents 28 films that have been recovered. Many of these films that have not previously appeared on home video, and have been mastered in high-definition yielding excellent results. The source prints themselves range from good to excellent, with two films presented in their fragmentary survival state.

Narratives from 1912-1913: D.W. Griffith's For his son, Lois Weber's Suspense, and Thomas Ince's The heart of an Indian, all mastered from beautiful 35mm film elements.

Weber stars as a young mother who is home alone when a burglar enters her house in this visually captivating and stylistically advanced thriller. The chase scene, the use of split-screen, and the shots of the burglar ascending into the house are all powerful visuals that proclaim Lois Weber's skill as a film director. Music by Frederick Hodges.
