Surviving Copy
No extant print of Veiled Aristocrats is known to exist. It was presumed to be a lost film for many years, but a trailer and fragments from two reels were discovered in a Tennessee garage in 1992. The surviving footage was restored by the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and has been preserved in the Library of Congress. The original film’s running time is unknown. Most of the final ten minutes of the surviving incomplete version consists of musical numbers performed by Rena’s house servants, including a rendition of the song "River, Stay Away from My Door."

Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or copy:
“The misery of the middle-aged woman is a grey and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“The men are magnificent—the young men tall, well formed, and admirably dressed; the old men positively beautiful, with their fresh complexions, white hair, and admirable neatness. Nothing struck me more than this, and we might copy it to advantage here. As an Englishman grows older he becomes more and more careful in his dress.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
