Typewriter film shown in India (1912)

The earliest film featuring a typewriter appears to date to 1905: “The Broker’s Atheltic Typewriter,” a comedic short that I blog about here. (If anyone knows of an earlier film, please email at netadams @ gmail). My research has yielded a few other finds, including a (lost?) 1911 film recounting the history and manufacture of the Remington typewriter (see post here). That film apparently was shown throughout the world, including in Calcutta, India:
