Our first look at this well-produced DVD-R edition, which has been mastered from surviving 35mm prints recovered by The Serial Squadron and now held by The Library of Congress, features a very-good to excellent full-frame video transfer at a natural-speed pace.

The collection features an introduction to the Beatrice Fairfax phenomenon (8 minutes), a recreation of the first (missing) episode (4 minutes), and complete presentations of episodes two through five.

The presentation also features a new musical accompaniment performed on MIDI-based digital piano.

The Serial Squadron is working their DVD release of the remaining Beatrice Fairfax episodes.

This Region 0 NTSC DVD-R disc is available directly from The Serial Squadron.
