Interesting but inconclusive bits of backstory on attempts to identify this film cataloged at LOC as [UNIDENTIFIED THEISEN NO. 1: TRIPTYCH POEM] 1926. Thanks to Bruce Posner for sharing e-mails from 2000-2002. Several of best minds weighed in: Ken Weissman, Geo. Willeman, Buckey Grimm, Kim Tomadjoglou, Jan-Christopher Horak, and Kevin Brownlow. The only possible lead came from Brownlow, who in 1999 recalled seeing a film like this one in the 1960s, a 400 print he speculated dates from the 1920s. After seeing [TRIPTYCH POEM] at the Giornate del Cinema Muto in 2001, he (and apparently others) said they thought the actor in the closing section of the film was Joseph Strickland, a character actor at MGM in the mid-1920s. But I can find no trace of an actor by that name. Not in the AFI CATALOG. Not IMDB, or Lantern.mediahist, or the interwebs. Ideas? Joseph Strickland? https://youtube/watch?v=7KPjaVItjFo
