''The Red Widow'' is a lost 1916 silent comedy film produced by Famous Players-Lasky, distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film was based on a 1911 Broadway musical play ''The Red Widow'' by Channing Pollock and Rennold Wolf and starring comedian Raymond Hitchcock. John Barrymore stars in this film in the Hitchcock part of Cicero Butts. Hitchcock's wife, Flora Zabelle, is the leading lady in this film.〔(Progressive Silent Film List: ''The Red Widow'' ) at silentera.com〕〔''The American Film Institute Catalog Feature Films: 1911-20'' by The American Film Institute, c. 1988〕〔''John Barrymore: A Bio-Bibliography'' by Martin Norden, c. 1995〕〔''John Barrymore Shakespearean Actor'' by Michael Morrison, c. 1997 p.73〕 This particular comedy was shot twice. The negative for the first version burned up in a nitrate fire before prints were made. This was probably the same Famous Players fire of September 11, 1915 that destroyed the first version of Mary Pickford's ''Esmerelda'' (1915). Barrymore and cast reshot the film for no salary.〔''The Barrymores in Hollywood'' by James Kotsilibas Davis, c.1981〕 ==Cast== *John Barrymore - Cicero Hannibal Butts *Flora Zabelle Hitchcock - Anna Varvara ( *as Flora Zabelle) *John Hendricks - Baron Strickoutvich *Eugene Redding - Ivan Scorpioff *Millard Benson - Basil Romanoff *George E.
