The Masked Rider (1919 film)

The Masked Rider is a 1919 American drama western film serial directed by Aubrey M. Kennedy.[1] Scenes were filmed in Texas and Mexico. The serial was considered to be lost in entirety. However, most episodes have been found, although many are incomplete. The Masked Rider is considered to be the first film serial about a masked cowboy. The 15-episode serial is also significant for being the earliest surviving film appearance of actor Boris Karloff.[2]

gollark: It's the perfect choice for command line tools (you don't need environment variables or anything for that, no), web applications (sockets are also not actually a thing which exist), data science (data is just lists, right? osmarkslisp™ is great at lists), or systems applications (I am attempting to get it into the Linux kernel in place of BPF).
gollark: osmarkslisp™ features:- tail call optimization (Python lacks this for bee reasons)- strings, somewhat- very fast (sorts a 200-element list of integers in mere seconds)- intuitive syntax with 912571897189274 brackets- no macros, but still really minimal builtin operations- approximately functional scope
