Jim the Penman is a 1915 silent film crime drama produced by the Famous Players Film Company and released through Paramount Pictures. This film is the first movie of the famous stage mystery. The film was directed by Edwin S. Porter and starred stage actor John B. Mason, in his debut film, keeping in line with Adolph Zukor's efforts to recruit famous stage actors for films. Co-starring with Mason was young up and coming favorite Harold Lockwood. Mason had played the part on the stage in the 1910 season on Broadway.[1] Some sources erroneously credit this film as being shot in a stereoscopic format, but the film was shot in the conventional 2D format. Stereoscopic tests films were shot by Porter (not for use in the film) using the sets and actors.[2] This film is lost.[3]
