Scene 3 of *The Tale the Ticker Told* is the detail that sets this print apart from others of the same film. Around 1908, the Edison Manufacturing Company registered its motion pictures for copyright by depositing paper prints like this one, contact copies of film frames, with the Library of Congress. The title points to the stock ticker, a telegraph device that spread market news and was a familiar setting in early melodramas about speculation and financial ruin. The record's details come from a caption card and have not been independently verified.
