Motion Picture News during 1921 readily boasted that more than seven different types of "exploitations" were used to advertise the film "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" starring Rudolph Valentino. Motion Picture Directing, published in 1922, showed a director Rex Ingram using a white, square canvass reflector to exploit sunlight during the filming of exterior scenes.
Author Benjamin B Hampton, in his volume A History of Movies, discusses the rise of screenwriter June Mathis to producer with the film "The Fourhorseman of the Apocalypse" and her effort to "plan the details of camerawork before photography began. This process of planning had been shared by Tucker and a few other directors who called it 'shooting the story on paper before shooting it on film'. 'Shooting on paper'...requires highly trained technical knowledge, clear thinking, a power of visualization and a rounded conception of the picture before camerawork begins. Its advantages are low cost production."
The film was based on the novel writtenby Vincente Ibanez. Silent film Rudolph Valentino

The periodical Motography during 1914 gave the date of the settings of the film "Anne Boleyn (1912) as 1532 during the reign of Henry VIII, typifying the film as an early example of the costume drama genre, "its exteriors typical of England", the interiors including the Tower. The periodical Motion Picture World reviewed the Eclipse-Kleine of Anne Boleyn using the word photodrama rather photoplay, "Max Pemberton has wrote the scenario, and he has kept close to the historical narrative in the main facts...so strong in vindication of her innocenece and so adverse to the merciless monarch that a view of these films forces the spectator to take the side of the ill-fated Anne with a feeling of bitter animosity toward her royal mate." The specific instance use of the word "spectator" in the historiography of the extatural discourse of the period's fan magazines was refreshingly from 1914.
An earlier version of the story of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII was filmed the previous year in the United States during 1912 starring actrees Ckara Kimball Young. Shakespeare's King Henry VIII proclaims that Anne Boleyn will be his queen in the one reel Vitagraph film "Cardinal Wolsey", directed by J.Stuart Blackton.
"Henry VIII" by William Shakespeare was directed by William Barker during 1911 starring the renowned Herbert Beerbohm Tree with acress Violet Vanburgh as Queen Catherine. The film is presumed to be a Lost Silent Film with no surving copies existing but features the same actress as Anne Boleyn as the 1913 French version.
Ernst Lubitsch directed "Anna Boleyn" during 1920 with actress Henny Porten and actress Aud Egede-Nissen as Jane Seymour. Pictures and Pictures and Picturegoer Magazine related that the narrative of the film centered around the "beautiful and impressive" Henny Porten by disclosing that "the end is foreshadowed in the opening shots". Film historian Arthur Knight explains an interest in transnationalism during the silent era, "There would seem to be three main types of German productions during this period, all more or less concurrent. First and probably most popular were great costume spectacles like "Passion" (1919), "Ann Boleyn" (1920) and "Danton" (1921). At the outset, these dealt with less than savory incidents from the history of Germany's recent enemies, but they did so withgreat flair."

Directing in 1912, Louis Mercatan had filmed stage actresss Sarah Bernhardt for four reels using only long static shots; there are twenty three scenes in the film and of twenty two intertitles, only three are interpolated. Most summarize the dialogue and its consequence to the action untill the exclamation in scene twenty one, “May God forgive you, I never will.” While discussing the advent of sound film and its acceptance by French filmmakers, the periodical Exhibitor's Daily Review abjured its readers that the would be "reminded that Sarah Bernhardt was the first star of the first movie drama ever produced."
A year later, in 1913, D.W. Griffith, having already adopted the practice of making two-reelers, directing the first American four-reel narrative, “Judith of Bethulia”, starring Blanche Sweet. Louis Mercanton directed Sarah Berhardt again duriing 1913, reverting back to a two reel running length with the film "Adrienne Lecourver, An Actress's Romance", the film presently presumed to be lost,with no surviving copies.
All five or six reels of the 1915 film "Jeanne Dore", starring Sarah Bernhardt and written and directed by Louis Mercantan are presumed to be lost. It mas included among many of the Bluebird Photoplays during the company's brief existence during the first decade of the twentieth century. Greta Garbo is quoted by Sven Broman as having said, "I know that he courted Sarah Bernhardt and wanted to write plays for her...but Strindberg still managed to get Sarah Bernhardt to do a guest performance in Stockholm in La Dame aux Camelias at the Royal Dramatic Theatre. There are reports of surviving existing copies of the one reel 1909 film "La Tosca" starring Sarah Bernhardt and Eudourdo Max. Sara Bernhardt plays herself, as do Sir Basil Zahrof and Maurice Zahrof in the two reel "Sara Bernhardt a Belle Isle" from 1912. "Mothers of France" (1917) would be the last film to feaure the The Divine Woman, Sarah Bernahrdt.
