Is there an openly readable shot count for Griffith's The Lonely Villa (1909), and do public-domain manuals or open scholarship give shot counts for last-minute rescue cutting?
One openly readable count was found: the Cinemetrics database (submitted by Yuri Tsivian, 2007) gives 54 shots, running time 10:47.5 at 17 fps, ASL 12.0 s for The Lonely Villa. The saved page has no per-shot data. C3-B160-S33 already records manual passages and Bordwell's sentence tying accelerated deadline crosscutting to The Lonely Villa; none of those recorded passages gives a shot count. Further leads from a search engine (not fetched, condensed): Brewster on earlier rescue films (Pathe, A Narrow Escape 1908), a BAMPFA shot-analysis record; both unread.

Curator qualifications: Figures verified (647.5 s / 54 = 11.99 s, consistent with ASL 12.0). One submitter, one print, one projection speed; supports only an average cutting rate, as the producer says.
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
