 Because Katherine Emery (qv), who had played Edna Jarvis (wife of  the dead man) had died in 1980, Gloria Stuart (qv) was recruited  to play her in the new footage. Because this was before "Titanic"  resurrected Stuarts career, she was relegated to a bit role. Mrs  Jarvis was senile and features in only one scene at a nursing home.  (Stuart would have a slightly larger role, and "special guest  appearance" billing, 14 years later in "Murder She Wrote: The Last  Free Man.")
