About the preparation of this book: a number of films which made Arthur's original IMDb top 25 films listing are not included in this book for the following reasons: - Wine of Youth (1924), The Iron Horse (1924) and Buster Keaton's Seven Chances (1925) because Arthur appeared in uncredited roles. - Sins of the Fathers (1928) and Get That Venus (1933) because poster art and scene stills of Arthur were unavailable for her roles. - George Stevens: A Filmmaker's Journey (1984) is a documentary and not a starring vehicle. - Galas de la Paramount (1930) because Arthur only appears in an episode of the film, cast as Sweetheart in the episode, 'Dream Girl." Also, poster art and scene stills of her role were unavailable. - Cameo Kirby (1923) because Arthur is billed ninth.
