Enclosed includes surviving posters, stills, and promotional material for Maurice Tourneur's lost 1913 horror film "The System of Doctor Goudron"; which was also known by it's French title "Le système du docteur Goudron et du professeur Plume" and "The Lunatics" in the US.
The film itself is based on Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 short story "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether", and would eventually be adapted into a stage production in 1903 by André de Lorde under the name "Le Systéme du Dr Goudron et Pr Plume".
There is very little surviving information about the short film; as the most we have is a short cast list, the 15 minute runtime, and that it was a silent film with French intertitles. Apart from the posters and questionable IMDb reviews, the most solid surviving details we have about the film stem from Moving Picture World's April-June 1914 entry about it - which includes the two aforementioned stills. It's unclear what became of the film or if there's any potential copies floating around out there.
