Kritiken : «Mary Miles Minter as an innocent little girl who, finding a baby, immediately claims it as her own, and, when about to lose it for want of masculine parent, promptly claims a strange young man as its father. The complications can be easily imagined. A pretty, not highly dramatic play. Direction very good, for which James Kirkwood is responsible.» (R.B.C., Motion Picture Magazine March 1917, pg 10)

Anmerkungen: «When the throne of Maharajah Sidir Singh of Dagmahar is overthrown, and the Maharajah himself is mortally wounded, his trusted military chief General Gadi rushes to the aid of Sidir’s only son, the Young Rajah.Through the efforts of General Gadi and Singh’s closest friend Morton Judd, Judd makes arrangements to see the Young Rajah safely transported to the United States under the protection and care of his brother Joshua. Joshua Judd raises the boy as his own, adopted under the new identity of Amos Judd. As the years roll on, Amos leads a life far removed from his cultural roots in India, and largely unaware of his royal lineage. One day the usurper, Ali Kahn, is informed that the son of the Maharajah still lives. He exhorts his military leader to assemble trusted men to locate Amos and eliminate him. Those devoted to the slain Maharajah are able to thwart the attack, and bring the Young Rajah home to restore peace to his oppressed citizens. The interweaving of modern Americana with exotic Hindu culture, touched with mystical inclinations, recommended the story to writer June Mathis, who had been instrumental in securing for Valentino the leading role in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which had made him a star. Implicitly trusting Mathis, Valentino determined to make The Young Rajah, despite the reservations of Famous Players.The subject had the added appeal that Valentino’s wife, Natacha Rambova, could design appropriately exotic costumes for her husband. However, once the picture was completed, and released to a lukewarm reception, Valentino retracted much of his initial enthusiasm, and ultimately placed some of the responsibility in the lap of Famous Players, citing inadequate production facilities. The digital reconstruction of what remains of this long-lost 1922 feature was supervised by producer Jeffery Jon Masino of Flicker Alley, a company which produces new digital editions of silent films, in association with Turner Classic Movies. In 1998 the Library of the Moving Image in Los Angeles purchased what is believed to be the only surviving copy, non-sequential fragments totalling 26 minutes, at a Sotheby’s auction of the Leslie Flint Collection. Leslie Flint, president of the Valentino Memorial Guild in London, and a professional medium claiming regular spiritualist contact with Valentino, came into possession of a 16mm print that was allegedly discovered in an Italian chicken coop in the 1960s. Alas, too much time passed before enough funding was acquired to transfer the complete film, ultimately proving detrimental to its survival. To provide a more fluid narrative, Flicker Alley has augmented it using two promotional trailers and production stills culled from private collections and the Paramount Special Collections at the Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library. Alongside the original intertitles, continuity titles derived from original Paramount editing scripts help bridge the gaps in the plot. Storyboards were also developed to see how these sequences would be laid out.The restored intertitles and “still photo” sequences were worked on separately, and then combined in an off-line edit. The poor image quality of the 16mm print was considerably enhanced during transfer by Advanced Digital Services of Hollywood, who devised a process of down-converting a 1080 x 1920 pixel HD image into four 540 x 960 pixel PAL quadrants.The four separate images were then “cleaned” by a digital filtering system and “stitched” back into an HD image, which was in turn down-converted into a final uncompressed NTSC Quicktime file to run at approximately 21 frames per second. Now, with new and existing intertitles, photographic stills in place of missing live-action segments, and corrected speed, the reconstructed version runs 52 minutes. Not nearly as long at the original 1922 version’s c.88-100 minutes, but enough to offer today’s audiences a unique opportunity to view a mythical lost production, and reach their own conclusions as to the quality of piece. – BRANDEE BRANNIGAN COX, Giornate del Cinema muto, Pordenone 2006, Katalog
