The Last Edition

The Last Edition (1925)

A twenty-year veteran of the printing room of The San Francisco Chronicle is passed up for a promotion at the same time his son is accused of graft and involved in scandal. The historical landmarks of old San Francisco are present: The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building, City Hall and the Pickwick Hotel-- but they don't distract from the dramatic and emotional perforamces at the film's center.

Interesting facts

The Last Edition is a 1925 American silent melodrama directed by Emory Johnson. FBO released the film in November 1925. The film's "All-Star" cast included Ralph Lewis as a press man at the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. Emilie Johnson, Johnson's mother, wrote both the story and screenplay. The Last Edition was the seventh film in Johnson's eight-picture contract with FBO.

Production

The motion picture was filmed in and around the "Old Chronicle Building" located at 690 Market Street in downtown San Francisco. However, in 1924, The Chronicle commissioned a new headquarters at 901 Mission Street on the corner of 5th Street. The Chronicle completed the move in 1925, shortly after the film crews were finished shooting. It was also filmed around Cosmo Street close to Hollywood Boulevard.
