ORIGINAL TITLE: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
YEAR: 1920
RUNNING TIME: 95 min.
COUNTRY: USA
DIRECTOR: John S. Robertson
SCREENWRITER: Clara S. Beranger (Novel: Robert Louis Stevenson)
COMPOSER: Silent Movie
CINEMATOGRAPHER: Roy Overbaugh
CAST: John Barrymore, Brandon Hurst, Martha Mansfield, Charles Lane, Nita Naldi, Louis Wolheim
PRODUCER: Paramount Pictures
GENRE: Horror. The 19th Century. Silent Film
PLOT: Considered by many to be the first great American horror film, John S. Robertson´s Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde allowed stage legend John Barrymore to deliver his first virtuoso performance on film. Blending historic charm with grim naturalism, this version of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is one of the more faithful of the many screen adaptations of Stevenson´s story, recounting a visionary scientist´s ill-fated attempts to unleash the human mysteries that dwell beneath the shell of the civilized self.
Mastered from a 35mm negative and complemented with a wealth of supplemental material, this Kino on Video edition beautifully showcases the dramatic brilliance and gruesome thrills of this influential American classic.

Unfortunately, this is the cut version once again, and the total running time is a little above one hour, certainly not the announced "95 mns". To my knowledge, only Image released the uncut version some years ago, even if the quality of the source was slightly inferior. The details on the missing sequences can be found on the web. It's as such:

The Kino edition is missing footage that is in the Shepard edition; that being directly after the intertitle introducing Brandon Hurst as Sir George Carew. In the Shepard edition, the footage begins with a shot of Carew reading a gossip newspaper followed by an inset shot of the newspaper item beginning, “What has hapened to the eyesight of the elderly Duke of X —?,” which then returns to the shot of Carew. A medium-long shot follows showing Martha Mansfield coming down the stairs in the background and into the foyer. An intertitle introduces Mansfield as Millicent, followed by an establishing close-up of her. Carew turns his attention back to his paper, while Millicent talks to a butler. She then enters the parlor where Carew has risen from his paper. She asks him about her dress and he points to her bouquet she holds. An intertitle reads, “These are from Dr. Jekyll,” followed by a reaction shot and they turn, obviously hearing the arrival of guests. An intertitle introduces J. Malcolm Dunn as John Utterson, and is followed by a shot of the standing butler and Utterson entering the parlor. Utterson greets Millicent and Carew. He excuses himself and Millicent and Utterson sit. A close-up shows Carew’s hand placing the gossip newspaper in a desk drawer, followed by a return to the two-shot. An intertitle reads, “Have you seen anything of Dr. Jekyll lately?” Utterson shakes his head and an intertitle reads, “Between his laboratory and his poor, Jekyll hasn’t much time for his friends.” Millicent begins speaking and an intertitle reads, “But isn’t it wonderful of him to devote so much of his life to other people?” Millicent looks at her flowers and they continue talking until a jump cut to a shot of Jekyll caring for a boy with bandages on his arm and foot, whom he carries into his treatment room. Jekyll sits and begins writing notes at his desk. A close-up of the boy patient looking around the room is followed by a close-up of the nurse tending to instruments. The boy looks around again and back to the busy nurse and back around the room. A close-up of Jekyll at his desk shows him wrapping a note to be delivered by a waiting boy. An intertitle reads, “Take this at once to Sir George Carew.” The delivery boy leaves and Jekyll turns. The little patient is seen again in close-up. Jekyll offers the boy a treat, which he takes and puts in his mouth. Jekyll begins removing bandages from the boy’s arm and the shot fades to black. The entire sequence lasts from 6:21 through 10:21. Later, the Shepard edition leaves in a second (redundant) intertitle introducing Mansfield (again).

(the article above concerns the Kino edition, but I have it and it's similar to the one in the present thread).
