Legacy
According to Prof. Stephen Railton, "Vitagraph’s 1910 production was the first 'three-reeler.'"[2] This was an innovation over the then-standard "one-reelers," which were roughly 15 minutes long, and "were shown in theaters as part of about an hour's worth of entertainment usually involving a live singer as well as several films."[1]
