	The Green Goddess (1923)
		Olcott, in directing, adhered closely to the stage presentation, with the sub-titles (at least 50 per cent of the entertainment's qualities) being lifted directly from the original script.
		Olcott did nicely with a meagre amount of mob stuff, possibly overtaxed his climax a bit, but inserted as a neat shot of an airplane squadron in flight as can be imagined.
		Sidney Olcott's direction of this picture is distinctly high class from his handling of the mob scenes to the fine way in which he has developed the purely dramatic side.

	Blazing the Trail Part One
		In the latter appeared Sidney Olcott, Robert Vignola and Joe and Fred Santley, not to mention Joe's horse Silverheels.
		Olcott, the director, gathered about him a score of actors who were his personal friends and threw himself whole-heartedly into the work.
		It was Olcott's ambition to finish each one-reel picture in a single day, so he held a stop watch on the final rehearsal.

	Blazing the Trail Part Two
		Olcott had been engaged by Kalem to direct a one-reel picture of about a thousand feet every week for the munificent sum of ten dollars per picture!
		Olcott was of Irish birth and possessed all the sparkle and sentiment of that emotional race; also he loved a fight and was as tenacious as a bulldog.
		Olcott and I went to the racetrack, found the props impossible and the supers inadequate, hurried back to Swain's Agency and interviewed people for the cast and for extras, and late in the evening rushed clown to Elliott's and remained until after midnight selecting props and hundreds of costumes.

	Kino Film: From The Manger To The Cross
		Sidney Olcott's From the Manger to the Cross (1912), however, was a notable exception in that it was actually filmed on location in the Holy Land instead of against painted backdrops.
		Its ambitious five-reel length allowed the Passion play to be enacted in rich detail, whether exhibited as a series of chapters, or as a single 70 minute feature.
		Olcott and screenwriter/actress Gene Gauntier (who portrays the Virgin Mary) decided to add a feature-length story of Christ to their itinerary before being overwhelmed by the awesome surroundings (the image of Mary and Joseph in repose alongside the Sphinx was a spectacular indulgence they couldn't resist, however anachronistic it was).

		Director Sidney Olcott took his cast out of the studio and into the real world, actually traveling to Egypt and the Holy Land to film on the actual locations.
		Palestine may have changed in the previous 1900 years, but not as much as it would change in the next century, and this movie gives an almost documentary, highly realistic view of the life of Jesus as it might have looked two millennia before.

		Then again, one wonders what this motion picture Gospel must have meant to people who had never seen any depictions of before this of Jesus with the wind blowing his hair, or his very human collapse of face into hands to weep over Lazarus.
		A couple years later, director Sidney Olcott was to borrow costumes from the Metropolitan Opera and film the first short screen version of Ben Hur (1907) in Manhattan's Battery Park — but that even that film was not much more of an epic than this modest life of Christ.
		It would be the Italians, appropriately, who were to invent the screen spectacle, no doubt inspired by the ever-present ruins and reminders of ancient glory, and intrigued by the possibilities of cinema in bringing them back to life.
