The 1923 Clara Bow film "The Pill Pounder" (two reels) was discovered to exist when a 35 millimeter print was found in 2024, it evidently having been purchased unknowingly at an auction for twenty dollars.
Adapted for the screen by James Ashmore Creelman from the story "Grit" written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the film "Grit", starring Clara Bow was directed by Frank Tuttle in 1924. The film is considered a lost silent film. Directed in 1925 by Charles Giblyn, the six reel film "The Adventurous Sex", starring Clara Bow is also presumed to be a lost silent film, with no surviving copies existing.
Motion Picture News avoided flattering the direction of "Parisian Love", "Weak and wandering. Thrill stuff poorly executed, action draggy, footage wasted."
