    Huh. This is interesting and unexpected.

  • Apparently, there is a 1930 version of The Painted Desert. Any chance it was shown at a cinema that year?

  • @Praxis Curious; all information I can find indicates it wasn't released until 1931. It was filmed in 1930, though; maybe that's what your source means? Commented Jan 26, 2016 at 4:11
  • That's what I figured, that a 1930 edit had been made available some time after the initial release (possibly decades later). I just want to rule out that it was somehow given a limited screening at selected cinemas in 1930.

    Good to know. It light of that, I definitely agree that an anachronism is the most likely explanation.
