Survival status
No copies of 'The Love Mart' are currently known to exist. However, the Library of Congress has preserved some footage related to the production featuring Billie Dove. The purpose of the footage appears to have been to test some of Dove's hairstyles for the film. Still frames taken from this 'Hair Test' were posted on internet forums in February 2012.[http://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11592 Nitrateville]
