During 1916, director John Emerson coscripted the film "His Picture in the Papers" (five reels) with Anita Loos. Produced by the Fine Ats Film Company with Triangle Sudios, the film starred Douglas Fairbanks and Rene Boucicicault. Eric Von Stroheim appears on screen in the film.
The periodical Wid's Films reviewed the photoplay of the film, "The central idea for this story was a very good one. In conjunction with this idea we are given many titles which have been very well written and secured many good laughs....There was a thread of melodrama through part of the story which was all played very seriously."

Gendered spectatorship notwithstanding, in a way, the girl coming down the stairs is symbolic of the lost film itself, the unattainable She, idealized beauty antiquated (albeit it being the beginning of Modernism), with the film detective catching a glimpse of the extratextural discourse of periodicals and publicity stills concerning Lost Films, Found Magazines
