The Adventures of Kathlyn (1913)is an American motion picture serial released on December 29, 1913 by the Selig Polyscope Company. An adventure serial filmed in Chicago, Illinois, its thirteen episodes were directed by Francis J. Grandon from a story by Harold MacGrath and Gilson Willets and starred Kathlyn Williams as the heroine. Harold MacGrath's novel of the same title was released a few days later in January of 1914 so as to be in book stores at the same time as the serial was playing in theatres.
The Adventures of Kathlyn was only the second serial ever made by an American film studio and considered the first of the cliffhanger serials that became enormously popular during the next decade.
The success of the serial spawned a 1916 feature-length film of the same title with basically the same crew and cast.
