hlywdkjk, Assuming this link is stll valid, here is a sample of a tune composed for the original release of this movie back in 1923. And performed as a live Accordion-solo. Two melodies were actually written specifically for the Lillian Gish classic. One was a Foxtrot by Dionisio Lofredo (dedicated to Miss Gish), which I am sorry to say I do not have. The other was the following Tango called "La Monjita": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xid3GPawxHQ It would have been nice if both vintage compositions could have somehow been integrated into the new score. Though I assume this hasn't happened.

Lynn, Hey, I am still waiting to hear from you? It's been about another month again. So drop me a E-mail OK?

Film_Fatale, Here is a fun Bettie Page Holiday Pin-Up that I should have posted last month. *Bettie Page, Making The Season Bright!*

Film_Fatale, Alrighty then here are a couple more that I didn't post yestyerday. Could have posted a bunch of Jayne, and Bettie Page. Might as well. *Jayne Manfield, Burst Her Buttons* *Jayne Mansfield Birthday Fashion*

Everyone, By the way, here is a link to a recently formed John Gilbert Fans group on Vintage Life Network. I just discovered this group last night and joined for the first time. There is also a Rudolph Valentino group, Greta Garbo Group, Norma Shearer, 1920's group, Silent films Group, TCM group, Flapper Beauties group, and much, much, more! http://vintagelifenetwork.ning.com/group/johngilbert *Be sure to check out the Brand New On-line Group for John Gilbert Fans on Vintage Life Network.

Scottman, When Thames HOLLYWOOD was produced in 1979, HIS HOUR had not been found yet. But I print was uncovered in a Czechoslovakian archive in the Early to Mid 90's, and now resides at the Museum of Modern Art. It still has Czech Title-cards that haven't been translated to English. Aside from a few live screenings, nothing much has been done with this movie to date. I don't understand at all why BARDLEYS THE MAGNIFICENT was restored right away after being found, while HIS HOUR has been sitting around neglected for the past 15 years or so??? Especially, since it is the film that made John Gilbert a Mega-Star! This is the only still with Gilbert that I have from HIS HOUR, but it is a great one. *John Gilbert And Aileen Pringle Form King Vidor's HIS HOUR (1924)* Incidentally, in case your interested, here is a link to a recently formed John Gilbert Fans group on Vintage Life Network.

Wendy, HIS HOUR is a hugely significant film in the career of Gilbert, as well as King Vidor, and even Elenoir Glyn, so it would be great to see this movie restored. It is not a lost feature. When Thames HOLLYWOOD was produced in 1979, HIS HOUR had not been found yet, but I print was uncovered in a Czechoslovakian archive in the Early to Mid 90's, and now resides at the Museum of Modern Art. It still has Czech Title-cards that haven't been translated to English. Aside from a few live screenings, nothing much has been done with this movie to date.

Wendy, THE WIFE OF THE CENTAUR is a lost MGM King Vidor feature, with Gilbert, Boardman, Aileen Pringle and Blanche Sweet. Actually, I should mention that a guy on Nitrateville recently uncovered a surviving fragment from this picture, but I don't know how long that it is? Apparently, what he has is in pretty good shape. By all indications, WIFE OF THE CENTAUR and Vidor's HIS HOUR made Gilbert the top Romantic Star in movies, before THE MERRY WIDOW, of THE BIG PARADE. Bare in mind, that Rudolph Valentino was on his self imposed hiatus from the screen for much of 1924.

Wendy, I don't have anymore Gilbert photos ready. But I do have this one of Eleanor Boardman in Costume for TELL IT TO THE MARINES. Did you see the photo of John and her trapped in the Snow Storm from WIFE OF THE CENTAUR (1924), that I posted earler in the week? Be sure to check the 1929 Hollywood Review, and Silent Film Gallery thread for many more photos that I will up-load shortly. *Eleanor Boardman, Wardrobe from TELL IT TO THE MARINES (1926)*

Mongo, Hope these don't offend anyone? I had been flirting with posting them for awhile now. Based on that last thread, I see nothing different here. I will remove them though if they are considered to be to Racy? *Jayne Mansfield, The Right Type* *Jayne Mansfield, Nothing Butt Net!* *Marilyn Monroe. "Fun-tastic Flexibility!"*

Annie, No, I sent the message direct to your In-box here on this forum. See the little icon beneath "Control Panel"? This is located under you user name in the right-hand corner of your screen. It should list the number of messages you have to open. if it says One, then I am the first to send you a message on this forum I guess? In any event, check the In-box for messages. I don't have your personal E-mail address, so I couldn't send you a message that way.

Scottman, Huh, where is King Vidor's THE WIFE OF THE CENTAUR (1924) on the lost list? I can't find the picture mentioned? On Nitrateville, I guy just said last week that he had found a fragment of this film at an old antique store, but the movie itself is still lost. Unless you know something that I don't? HIS HOUR is not lost anymore, so when are we going to get a restoration as was done with BARDELYS THE MAGNIFICENT? This is a very important film missing from the King Vidor, John Gilbert, even Elenoir Glyn, Cannon. It's disappointing that nothing much has been done with it to date. *John Gilbert And Eleanor Boardman, OPEN SLEIGH! From WIFE OF THE CENTAUR (1924)*

Annie, Please note, I just sent you a PM a few minutes ago. Be on the look out for it. Hope to talk with you very soon.

Ed, This was a sound remake of the now lost 1920 Fox blockbuster OVER THE HILL TO THE POOR HOUSE, Starring Mary Carr. The film was loved the world over. As far as I am aware, no copies survive of what was a very big film that moved untold millions of people. I have a couple good posters in here someplace.

Gil1957, Well, these are all public-domain prints. I think the set has gotten some poor reviews. The prints are not the best quality. I know nothing about the scores, but they are likely very cheap efforts as well. If you already have the Hariold Lloyd coedy collection 7 disc set, you won't be happy with a low budget release like SMILES AND SPECTACLES. If you are looking for a few more of the Lloyd one and two reel comdies, Kino has released a couple of sets, that have good prints of the those restored by Lobster films of Paris. The do wonderful restoration work.

Lynn, Everyone, An awful lot of this first chapter was actually taken from Kevin Brownlow's mammoth production of Thames HOLLYWOOD. I was also very surprised how much of Carl Davis music was used in the documentary. Almost every MGM Silent they aired a clip from had Davis music playing in the background. Way to little time was spent on THE BIG PARADE. That film alone deserves a documentary, and I hope it will get one with a proper DVD release this year.

Actually, TCM has run BEYOND THE ROCKS at least 4 or 5 times. Including not that long ago. Unfortunately, the movie is a "Clunker". Not very good at all. Both Valentino and Swanson made much better films, and it is not complete either. The dance sequence in the restaurant is missing. And probably much more. Despite the claims that most of the picture is in-tact. I tried to locate my review on GAOH to post a link here, but couldn't find it. Maybe it was deleted? I'll keep looking. The Milestone DVD release set new standards for rotten Silent film scores. This has to be among the worst ever. There are only two good tunes, and one of them is Scott Joplin's immortal "MAPLE LEAF RAG" Most everything else really stinks! Don't recall the composer, but he is truly miserable. He did say He "hated period scores" (which I love), but anyhow show some taste. I might have enjoyed it more with a decent score.
