Commentary
Print without main title. Production Company identified from the logo in the scenery: "New York Motion Picture Co. Trade Mark" [frame scan 1]. It could be "The Man from Texas" (1910) (IMDB-Nummer: tt0358583), since one of the inter-titles mentions a "Mann aus Texas"... but this is just a presumption.
