Wiki.
Evangeline is a 1914 Canadian silent drama film directed by Edward P. Sullivan and William Cavanaugh and starring Laura Lyman and John F. Carleton. The screenplay was adapted from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1847 poem Evangeline by Marguerite Marquis. It is the earliest recorded feature film in Canadian history.
The Canadian Bioscope Company was established in 1912, and filmed Evangeline at locations in Nova Scotia and Quebec during 1913 for a cost of $30,000. The film's directors and lead actors were Americans while the ing cast were Canadians. The film was shown in New York City before its Canadian premiere in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and was shown throughout Canada and the United States where it received positive reviews for its faithful adaption of Longfellow's poem. It is now a lost film.
