Full-page photo spread on Edwin Carewe's "Ramona" (1928), page 65 of "The Picture Show Annual 1929."

"The Picture Show Annual 1929" was a hardbound British publication, approx. 8x11 inches, that encapsulated the issues of the periodical "The Picture Show" that were published during 1928. It featured photos and stories on the various movies that were released throughout the year. No story accompanies this photo spread, although the writers say this (on page 133) about the actress who portrayed the title character:

Carewe's version of "Ramona" was one of a number of film adaptations (probably the third) of Helen Hunt Jackson's 1884 novel, which makes allegorical use of Rancho Camulos as a setting and models the character of the heroine's mother on the author's knowledge, via Antonio and Mariana Coronel, of the Señora Ysabel Varela del Valle, ranch owner and widow of Ygnacio del Valle.

Filmed primarily at Raleigh Studios on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, Carewe's "Ramona" premiered in L.A. on March 28, 1928, and was generally released in the U.S. by United Artists on May 14, 1928. It was distributed by Allied Artists in the U.K. beginning Sept. 17, 1928.

It was a lost film until 2010, when a print turned up in Prague. The rediscovered and restored film premiered for a second time March 30, 2014, in Los Angeles.
