A Display of Lincoln Relics -- February 12, 2025

Moving Picture World, 03-January-1925

Today would have been Abraham Lincoln's 216th birthday. Brothers Al and Ray Rockett produced The Dramatic Life of Abraham Lincoln in 1922. Frances Marion wrote the script, Phil Rosen directed and George A Billings played Abraham Lincoln. It was an elaborate production.

The movie was still in release in 1924/1925. The Liberty Theater in Pittsburgh made its lobby into a museum of Lincoln memorabilia.

Despite the unpleasantness of 1864 The Dramatic Life of Abraham Lincoln, was a hit in Atlanta.
