I believe a clip from a print of this film appears as the last film clip in "Lyrical Nitrate"; if the identification is correct (i.e. if the credits of Lyrical Nitrate are in order, as they seem to be), at least part of this film contains an Adam and Eve story, with the main characters dressed in flowers, and with Satan and Sin appearing to them as male and female characters. There is also a shot that looks like a Christ-like figure addressing a group of people, and another shot of a seated figure--possibly God--looking at an orb in which appear a number of buildings and then a spinning globe.The film quality of this clip, which lasts about 4 minutes, is unfortunately very poor. Parts of the clip are in good enough shape to show the pretty costumes and scenery, but only about 2 minutes are really viewable at speed and another minute has identifiable glimpses of images. The remainder of the clip is just random cracks, smears, and blisters.
