'Treasures 5' offers early cinematic look at the West
One hundred years ago, the motion picture industry was in its infancy and the Old West wasn't very ancient. When movie-making first came to California and other Western states in the early part of the 20th century, the first films that were produced revealed new worlds that had not been seen before by movie audiences.
"Treasures 5: The West, 1898-1938," a collection of silent film shorts, feature-length dramas, documentaries and promotional footage put together by the National Film Preservation Foundation, is out this week in a DVD boxed set (three discs, $59.98, not rated). It's the fifth release in the "Treasures From American Film Archives" series. Some of these films had been presumed "lost" and many have not been seen by the public for nearly a century.
The settings for many of these films are striking. "Life on the Circle Ranch in California," from 1912, was one of the first documentaries about ranching, and the ranch land is in the soon-to-be-developed area of Santa Monica. A 1910 short film by D.W. Griffith, "Over Silent Paths: A Story of the American Desert," places its melodramatic story of a young woman avenging her father's death amid the sagebrush, sand and cacti of what is now the suburbia of the San Fernando Valley. The actual houses and crafts of Navajo and Hopi Indians are shown in 1912's "The Tourists," while the ancient pueblos and cliff dwellings of northern New Mexico can be seen in "The Indian Detour," from 1926.
