"Perils of Pauline", 1914 -- cliff-hanger or not?

[Joel S. Berson]

Where might I find information (some movie email list?) documenting
whether the 1914 "Perils of Pauline" film serial was or was not a
"cliff-hanger" -- that is, ended episodes with Pauline in peril, or
resolved the peril before the end of the episode?

Wikipedia's "Perils of Pauline (1914 serial)" article says it was not
a cliff-hanger (no reference given).  But its "Cliff-hanger" article
says yes, specifically for an episode filmed around the Palisades
where Pauline was literally left dangling (one source cited, which I
am following up).

Jon wrote on Jan 21 "Word to wise: just because Pearl White dangled
from a cliff around 1915 doesn't mean the phrase was coined at that
time," so perhaps he knows the answer.  (The original episodes may no
longer be extant.)
