'The Count of Monte Cristo' is a lost 1912 unauthorised silent film short directed by Colin Campbell and starring Hobart Bosworth. The film is a remake of the same story Selig had filmed in 1908. When this film was made Adolph Zukor had secured the rights to the 1844 novel and was about to release his 1913 version with James O'Neill who had made the role famous on stage. Zukor's attorneys ordered this film destroyed and all prints were withdrawn.[http://silentera.com/PSFL/data/C/CountOfMonteCristo1912.html 'The Count of Monte Cristo' at silentera.com]'Pictorial History of the Silent Screen' c.1953 by Daniel Blum
