I find it ironic that LAM, a silent film, that was remade as a talkie, is lost.
While THE CAT CREEPS, a talking film that was previously made as a silent, is lost.


THE CAT CREEPS, THE GORILLA, THE TERROR and THE CHINESE PARROT are all lost.  They were also all remade as talkies by different companies.  Although I have no proof to back up my theory, I suspect that all of these films were deliberately destroyed by their producers, as a requirement of the purchase of the film rights by competing producers. THE CAT AND THE CANARY survived because it had already been released on 16mm via the Show-at-Home division.
