Jul 1 12 1:09 PM Burgomaster Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm not sure how big a deal this is, so posting here among the experts. Alpha is releasing in its Lost Silent Classics Collection aDVD including Lon Chaney's THE LIGHT OF FAITH (1922), along with Chaney's earliest surviving film BY THE SUN'S RAYS (1914). Also included: MIDNIGHT IN THE OLD MILL (1916), a comedy that does not feature Chaney. I know that LIGHT OF FAITH has been released as an extra with OLIVER TWIST, but has BY THE SUN'S RAYS had a commercial release beyond Youtube, etc.? Last Edited By: taraco Jul 1 12 1:12 PM.

BY THE SUN'S RAYS hasn't been considered Chaney's earliest surviving film for some years now; that honor belongs to POOR JAKE'S DEMISE (1913), which was discussed on this very board back in 2007 after it was shown at Retour de flamme in New York: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/13067

There are a few "horror" touches. The comedy duo (Bud and Ham) are grave diggers and there is a mad scientist involved. There's a scene where they pretend to be corpses.
