Three very nice Fan Portrait's of The Andrew Sisters, Patty, Maxine, and Laverne (Early 1940's)

johnbabe, Magic Flowers cast a powerful spell of enchantment. The unforgettable first meeting of Felicitas, And Leo (Garbo, and Gilbert) from Clarence Brown's FLESH AND THE DEVIL (MGM, 1926)

Little Debbie, Thanks for the photos. I don't think Jobyna is going to Swim in that outfit? The water doesn't look quite the right shade here. Need to fix that. The shoes are a mystery to me? A very unique ensemble though. Ralston was Harold Lloyd's best leading Lady, and He had some very good ones with Bebe Daniels, Mildred Davis, Barbra Kent, and Constance Cumming's among others. But Harold's very best work is with Jobyna. Since this phot is from 1924, that was the same year she made both GIRL SHY, and HOT WATER with H L. Two of his finest features. GIRL SHY being one of the great Romantic comediies ever made, Silent or Sound. I was fortunate to run across a bunch of really good photo's from FLESH AND DEVIL, and this is the first one that I have worked on so far. I wonder if anyone has a copy of the 1979 NBC Mini-series THE SILENT LOVERS, which was all about Gilbert and Garbo's torrid romance? I'd love to see it. Only about 45 minutes of TWELVE MILES OUT is known to exist. Unless more footage pops up, we probably won't be seeing it on TCM. However, MAN, WOMAN & SIN with Jeanne Eagels, and THE COSSACKS are both complete, survive in very good condition, and they really need to resurrect these movies.

Little Debbie, Here is another of the Photo's of John Gilbert you found earlier. This one is from an unknown film. I can't quite figure it out. Possibly King Vidor's recently re-discovered BARDLEYES THE MAGNIFCENT (1926) with Eleanor Boardman, or maybe TWELVE MILES OUT with Joan Crawford??? It does not appear to be from THE COSSACKS, as I thought at first? In any event, Gilbert looks very rugged with that stubble here.

Little Debbie, One of the Marceline Day Photo's you posted yesterday Colorized.

ugaarte, The very beautiful Angel like Marceline Day. What a superb photo this is!

ugaarte, Woof! A Staggering Photo of Jacqueline Logan, Just colorized! The main problem is the Skin-tone could not be made uniform throughout due to the heavy shadows, it is way off in places. I tried over and over with no success since about 5.30 PM this evening/ Other then that it looks really good.

Little Debbie, Whew, finally I just finished this one of Jacqueline Logan. I had to do this picture over 4 times, the first two, half of Her Skin Turned Green! I don't know what happened? It's not as vibrant as I had it a couple times though. Finally, I have something to post at least. To much glare on the face, and other problems persist. I will probably be making adjustments awhile longer.

Little Debbie, The photo turned out well, but I am still not entirely pleased with the Skintone. It looks OK though. I will colorize some more of the photo's you posted later this afternoon. Maybe Jacqueline Logan, or Marceline Day?

Mongo, It still looks just like "Dusty"! Appears He is about to "Bionic Elbow" his way straight through the Window Pain!!! Ouch!!!

Mongo, Say, are you sure that's Marlon Brando? I honestly thought it was "Dusty Rhodes"??? "Getting Funky LIke A Monkey With Yah Jack"'!

Lynn, Hey, I knew that Sid Terror, did not have the correct year of the MGM vault fire. By the way, In the Greenacers Lloyd Estate fire the original domestic negative to THE FRESHMAN was also destroyed. However, in the late 1990's the 2nd Camera European Negative to THE FRESHMAN, the film was released overseas as "COLLEGE DAYS" was miraculously found, and used as the basis for the 2001-2002 restoration that was released on DVD by New-Line Entertainment Home Video in the Fall of 2005 in the Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection Box set. Incidentally, New-Line Home Video no longer exists. It since been absorbed into Warner Brothers, but the Lloyd box-set is still in print, thank goodness. Somewhere down the line the Camera Negative to Chaplin's CITY LIGHTS was also lost. That is why the film just doesn't look as good as most of Chaplin's other features do today.

calvinnme, I haven't seen HIS GLORIOUS NIGHT, but I have seen REDEMPTION which would have been John Gilbert's talkie debut as it was actually made first. Gilbert hated the movie, and literally begged MGM to shelve it. Which they did at first. For some reason, after HIS GLORIOUS NIGHT flopped and was pulled from release, they went right ahead and released REDEMPTION anyway. As a Silent film the movie would have been quite good. Great cast with both Eleanor Boardman and Renee Adoree. Boardman never looked more beautiful than she does in this film. As a Talkie the film is stagey and horribly made, with allot of awful sound dubbing of sequences that were originally shot as a Silent.

Woof, Woof! Gorgeous Profile of Renee Adoree reflecting in a Mirror! What a unique Photograph. Very stylistic. Haven't seen many like this before.

Little Debbie, Here is one of your John Gilbert Portrait's Colorized. Hold on to your Hat.

Little Debbie, Wow! These are great Photo's of Gilbert! I will colorize these too! The last one appears to be from THE COSSACKS? Thanks allot, you keep finding some terrific pictures for me to work with!

Little Debbie, Corinne Griffith was known as "The Orchid Lady of The Screen", and was really a Mega-Star in her day. Though it's little remembered now, She ranked in the Top 7 box office Stars for a number of years. Corinne made, or at least appeared in over 60 feature films in the Teen's and 20's, even producing her own films. Only about 10 of those are know to exist today. Including THE DIVINE LADY (1929) which TCM just ran last week. I have seen only four of her films so far. I am deefinitely hoping that THE LADY IN ERMINE still exists, and I believe that it does? The others I have seen besides THE DIVINE LADY, are BLACK OXEN (1925), Lewis Milestone's THE GARDEN OF EDEN (1928), and BACK PAY (1930). When I first saw Corinne In THE GARDEN OF EDEN, I was instantaneously captivated! Hopefully, the other titles that remain will be restored, and more of her films will still yet re-surface as well. THE OUTCAST (1926), is another title I would love to see turn up.
