New York (1916 film)

New York is a 1916 American silent comedy-drama directed by George Fitzmaurice and starring Florence Reed. It was adapted by Ouida Bergère from a 1910 play of the same name by William J. Hurlbut. The film was produced by A. H. Woods and George Fitzmaurice and released by Pathé Exchange. It runs about 50 minutes and is a silent film with English intertitles.

Censorship: Like many films of the era, New York faced cuts by city and state boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors in 1918 required removal of some intertitles and cut a nude-model scene. The Ohio Board of Censors demanded multiple cuts to scenes involving smoking, dancing, drunkenness, and certain intertitles.

Preservation status: No copies are known to exist in film archives, so the film is considered lost. In February 2021, it was listed as a Lost U.S. Silent Feature Film by the National Film Preservation Board.
