Below is an early silent film, Frankenstein. It was made in 1910 by Edison Studios and for many years was thought to be lost.
(Here is a link to another site where the coloring is different.)
Believe it or not, there is an important Rensselaer connection to this film. Can you find it?
(I was surprised by how quickly the answer was given in comments both here and on Facebook. The actor playing Dr. Frankenstein was Augustus Phillips who was born in Rensselaer.)

Augustus Phillips, who played Victor Frankenstein in this production, was born in Rensselaer in 1874.
What a find! Another famous Rensselaerian. Do you know where he is buried?
