Where did you find the footage of Olive's films Broadway Arizona and Betty Takes a Hand?
fragments of Broadway Arizona are on youtube - full movie has, as far as I'm aware, been found in Australia some time ago (I also think George Eastman House may have surviving copy or fragments, I'm not sure)
fragments of Betty Takes a Hand are also on youtube published by channel called Window into the Past, highly recommend subscribing them, they have some very interesting stuff but usually publish in big batches and it may be hard to follow. full movie is also available to be purchased on ebay but I personally don't have it
ok, so my facts are blurry because I stopped researching Olive a few years ago and, as a result, I need to update this post with information from Silent Hall of Fame
"Silent Hall of Fame discovered that George Eastman House has the only copy in the world of 5 rare films, including Madcap Madge (1917), Broadway Arizona (1917), The Follies Girl (1919), Everybody's Sweetheart (1920) (...).
They refused to let us borrow copies of these films so that we can show them for free on our website, without giving any reasons why. Writing to George Eastman House may help persuade them to make a copy of the films" available to Silent Hall of Fame or make them available to the public."
still, I don't know why, but I am pretty convinced that at some point in my harccore-Olive-reasearch time I read somewhere that a copy of Broadway Arizona also survived somewhere in Australia of all places
