Description
"Shipwrecked Among Cannibals is a 1920 American silent film travel documentary film directed by William F. Alder, and released by Universal Studios in July 1920.
The film featuring episodes from Siam, Java, and New Guinea plus an apparently fictitious encounter with
cannibals on a small island in the South Pacific. Filming among the tribes in Dutch New Guinea was done by William F. Alder and Edward Laemmle, who was the nephew of Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal Studios."
"Opened in 1910, the Leader Theater lasted for five decades. For the final seven years of its life, from 1953 it was re-named Pix Theatre, after the operators of the Pix Theatre at 13th Street and New York Avenue lost the lease on that building. The Pix Theatre went over to screening adult movies and closed in 1960."
