I don't care how that still reads, that isn't Wallace Beery. He was a heaftier guy, older looking in the face. Much wider faced. Even in 1923. I've seen many of his Silent films.
Here is a another one.

I thought that it was Conway Tearle. But you can judge for yourself in this excerpt from BLACK OXEN with both Clara Bow and Corinne Griffith.
-
Fred,
I don't think that it's Wallace Beery, but it is from ASHES OF VENGENCE (1923), correct.
-
No, it's not from Du Barry Woman Of Passion. It's an earlier film.
-
Yes, it is Norma Talmadge. But who is she with, and what is the film? Do you know?
-
-
She is Lupita Tovar?
-
Err, Mr. Green Gene's? Just kidding.

The other Corinne Griffith movie TCM airs from time to time is Lewis Milestone's *THE GARDEN OF EDEN (1928).* It is a great film with an All Star cast, and is long out of print on DVD from Flicker Alley. They have also aired the Talkie *BACK PAY (1930)* wehich is missing a bunch of footage. TCM runs a few Barthelmess and Billie Dove Talkies, but not very many.
While TCM has run Constance Talmadge *HER NIGHT OF ROMANCE (1924),* and Norma Talmadge *KIKI (1925),* both with Ronald Colman, those were produced by the Talmadge's own independent company. Although distributed through First National, Warner's does not own the rights. Meanwhile, *THE LOST WORLD (1925)* with Lerwis Stone, Bessie Love and Lloyd Hughes is I believe in the Public Domain. That's about it for First National Silents. Not counting some Chaplin titles. I'm surprised they have not aired Constance Talmade *HER SISTER FROM PARIS (1925).* Since it too is on DVD from Kino.

Hibi,
Well, TCM has concentrated mainly on the MGM Silents, and some Warner Brothers titles. Very few First National Silents have been shown on TCM with new or vintage scores. A couple Corinne Griffith Silents, including *THE DIVINE LADY (1929).* Nothing really of Richard Barthelmess. except for the part Talkie *WEARY RIVER (1929)*. One Milton Sills picture *THE SEA HAWK (1924).*
Besides Colleen Moore, To date nothing of Blanche Sweet, Anna Q. Nilsson, Billie Dove, Doris Kenyon, Ben Lyon, or Dorothy Mackaill's Silents either have appeared on TCM.. So First National has not been well represented. Maybe that will be changing?
Hopefully, we will be getting *THE BARKER (1928)* one of these days with Betty Compson's Academy Award Nominated Performance. Also Staring Sills and Mackiall.

Pickens have been extremely slim of Colleen Moore on TCM to date. The have aired THE BUSHER (1919) several times. Which Stars Charles Ray. Colleen and John Gilbert in support. A couple talkies SOCIAL REGISTER and THE POWER AND THE GLORY. Apart from that, there was the FRAGMENTS Special featuring surviving footage from the otherwise lost Silent Blockbuster FLAMING YOUTH (1923). That's about all for Colleen on TCM.
I have waited to see the restored HER WILD OAT (1927) for the past 7 years. It was fully restored by The Academy film Archive (AMPAS) in 2006. Featuring a 13 year old Loretta Young in a supporting role. Warner's technically owns the rights to most of Colleen's surviving films. In 1926 Colleen Moore was the number 1 Box-office Star in America. And in 1926-27 she was the top Box office Star Internationally. Very few Stars wetre bigger in the 1920's.
I have dozens of clips of Colleen on TCM-CFU if you can get to it. Stuff from BROKEN HEARTS OF BROADWAY, ELLA CINDERS, IRENE, TWINKLETOES, LILAC TIME, ORCHIDS AND ERMINE, Seems to be down again. They just can't keep that site running no matter what. It's fixed for a few hours and keeps reverting back to the same problems as before. I can't understand it.

Two other huge highlights include:
THREE WOMEN (1924) Pauline Frederick, May McAvoy, Marie Prevost, Adolph Menjou. Directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Recently restored by George Eastman House. This one needs a TCM premiere!
THE QUARTERBACK (1926) Richard Dix, Esther Ralston. (Ithought that was a lost film!)

Big Breaking News! Big Breaking News! Big Breaking News! Did I mention Big Breaking News?!? This announcement broke on Nitrateville yesterday afternoon.Yes, after talking about this for years and years, It's really happening! It looks like we could actually be seeing these films on TCM later this year, or early next year. Or maybe released through Warner Archive? I'm not forgetting. HER WILD OAT either.
As far as I know, TCM has only announced 3 Silents for the Classic Film Festival in April so far. THE GENERAL, THE BIG PARADE, and IT. They usually has Four. How about getting maybe LILAC TIME in there yet? If at all possible? I had hoped for something like RAMONA (1928) with Dolores Del Rio, which was just restored by the LOC.
*"Ron Hutchinson of The Vitaphone Project here.*
*Our "lost" film news continues (after the discover of HELLO POP last month) with an announcement I am finally able to make! Colleen Moore's final silent, WHY BE GOOD? (FN/'29) was long believed to be lost. About 10 years ago while introducing one of my Vitaphone shows at NYC's Film Forum, I mentioned I had just acquired the Vitaphone disks (music and effects) for this feature but, sadly, the film was lost. Film historian Joe Yranski was sitting in the front row and yelled out "No it's not! I know where it is!". The crowd cheered, and so began a decades-long effort to get the film back to American and restored. I'm happy to report that in a joint effort by Ned Price and Warner Brothers, the Bologna Archive in Italy, Joe Yranski (who knew Colleen Moore) and The Vitaphone Project, this film is now being restored! This is an ultra art deco film, with a super jazzy music and sound effects track with such greats as Jimmy Dorsey, Phil Napoleon, and Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang. It even has Jean Harlow as a dress extra! Truly the ultimate silent experience with something for everyone. Ned made all the arrangements to get the lone surviving 35mm nitrate print from Italy and disk transfers have already been completed.*
*This has been a long and difficult process, and knowing what went into getting to this point, I sure hope we don't hear any clueless "it's about time" comments! WB is thrilled to fund BOTH of these restorations.*
*The print of Moore's next to last silent with Vitaphone track, SYNTHETIC SIN(also thought lost) is also being repatriated now and restored.*
*So on the heels pf finding HELLO POP, some more MGM Colortones I'll soon announce, and the restoration-in-progress of over 50 1926-30 Vitaphone shorts, 2013 is sure shaping up as a banner year for film discoveries and restorations!"*

Update:
Yes, It's really and truly happening! Ron Hutchinson broke the official news on Nitrateville yesterday! I'm not sure where these leaves *HER WILD OAT (1926)?* The Vita-phone project wouldn't have anything to do with that.. *LILAC TIME* though is another story. But *HER WILD OAT* was already fully restored in 2006. *LILAC TIME* is a given. The problem is the missign audio discs for three reels, And the the missing reels in general. Only 8 of the originally 11 reels are known to still exist as far as I know. In addition the Nethelands Eye Institute of film in Amsterdam Holland has elements on both *NAUGHTY BUT NICE,* and *OH, KAY!* The problemj is funding,, and I'm not really sure what this Archive has?

It looks like Lupe to me. But the more I looked at it I thought that it might be Mary Duncan?
-
-
Is this Ivor Norvello in THE LODGER (1926)? Or maybe it is Conrad Veidt in HAND'S OF ORLOCK? I would be suprised if it were not one or the other.

It was an amazing interview. I have greatly moved. I could definitely relate to her condition. My Mother was By-Polar, and had many episodes like Kim had during this where she broke down and wept struggling 5to get her words out.. I'm By-Polar, and it happens occasionally. It was fascinating hearing her open up about her personal and professional life before and away from Hollywood. One of the best most emotional interviews with anyone TCM has produced yet. I enjoyed seeing this program very much, and took it to heart. Robert Osborne was so professional. He kept calm even though Kim started falling apart a few times as the interview progressed. He didn't panic for a moment.

Nope, Not Claudette Colbert.

-
I haven't seen it yet.Did it just start airing in the past couple days? Hope that they don't replace the Main-title music and intro montage.
-
Not an easy choice, but I think I am voting for Capuchin. NAPOLEON swayed my vote.
-
It seems to be working again for the moment. I just uploaded a bunch of photos.
-
Yes, it is Betty Blythe from THE QUEEN OF SHEBA (1921). Does that mean that TCM-CFU is finally back up and running? I didn't bother to check this evening or today so far.
Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?
