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

Scott Lord Silent Film: Douglas Fairbanks in The Mollycoddle (Victor Fle...
"The Mollycoddle" (six reels) directed by Victor Fleming during 1920, paired Douglas Fairbanks with actresses Ruth Renick and Betty Bouton. The film was photographed by William C. McGann and Harris Thorpe.
The review of Douglas Fairbanks in "The Mollycoddle" by the periodical Wid's Daily began with, "After all is said and done, Douglas Fairbanks only requires plot enough in his pictures to link his various stunts together. When the plot goes beyond this and threatens to relegate Fairbanks to the position of conservative leading man the effect on the spectator is liable to be rather depressing." Douglas Fairbanks
