Description: Last of the Mammoths (1907) French artist Raoul Le Fort has fallen in love with a young woman, Eva, the epitome of beauty, and the daughter of self-made New York millionaire, the Hon. John N. Corliss. Corliss isn't impressed with Le Fort's bohemian lifestyle, nor his prioritizing art over commerce, but he's willing to give Le Fort a chance to win his approval for his daughter's hand. All Le Fort has to do is locate and return with the bones of an extinct giant mammoth for Corliss's museum. Le Fort agrees, but quickly discovers it won't be that simple. There's a rival for the mammoth, and Eva's hand: a German count who desires Corliss's fortune as much as he does a wife.
