Beatrice Fairfax is a 15-episode serial, each episode being it's own little story, with the only consistent characters being Beatrice and the reporter Harry. Episode 1 is permanently lost, but the rest exist in almost their entirety. As they all contain a different story, it's really only possible to rate the series as a whole. Some are better than others. So, as a whole, I give it 2 1/2 stars. My main interest in it was episode 10, "Play Ball" featuring Olive Thomas' first on-screen appearance as the fiancée of a New York Yankees' baseball player. I give that one an extra star, just for her being in it. Note: The actual Yankees and Giants were filmed in the episode, at the Polo Grounds in New York, and the 1916 Yankees made Olive their official mascot that year.
You've reached the end.
