Reviews:

Darrick38 (5/10)

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.
