Camille (1926) is a short film by Ralph Barton, the creation of which is described in Bruce Kellner's The Last Dandy, a biography of Barton.
This 33-minute silent film, an ostensible adaptation of La Dame aux Camélias (by Alexandre Dumas fils), was released on March 2, 2004 by Warner Home Video as a supplement to the DVD release of Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris and A King in New York. Its relevance in this connexion is based in Chaplin's nutty on-screen involvement in the project.
Appearances are also made by Paul Robeson, Anita Loos, H. L. Mencken, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, Paul Claudel, and many other lights of the 1920s cultural scene of Paris and New York.
