ugaarte,
This is a really Cute photo. Just precious!
*Clara Bow, Pssst, I like you allot better than Lou Cody!!!*
This reference eludes to the "Old-Wives Tale" which purports that in 1926, a Tipsy Clara, was racing around in Lou's brand new Pierce Arrow, and crashed it, with him in the passenger's seat. When people ran over to help, they discovered both were not only soused to the gills, but also Stark Naked!!!
Apparently, Paramount was able to work it's studio magic somehow, hush it all up, and keep the scandal out of the papers! I have no idea if there is any truth to the story or not??? To bad they couldn't work some more magic and get some of these long unseen films out on DVD!

Mike,
Cool Photos. The Esther Ralston is great. I have several good ones of Phyllis Haver. Just haven't worked on many.
If you went back a few pages, you will notice added several more Clara Bow pictures. Here is another one.
*Clara Bow, Bedside Manner*

*Athletic Anita*

Film_Fatale,
Clara Bow had Brown Eyes, and Red Hair. I made her Eyes Blue in most of the photo's, even though I thought that they were Brown all along. I should be able to fix this, without to much trouble. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. In the extra photos I just added this morning, her eyes are now Brown.

mickeeteeze,
The Kay Francis Star of The Month Tribute has been fabulous! I have enjoyed seeing these films greatly. Many of them for the first time! It also gives me hope that other lesser remembered Stars will have their month too eventually. Shame on that guy who thinks that Kay didn't merit her own month! Has He actually watched any of the movies??? Apparently not?
Hey, after seeing AN NOTORIOUS AFFAIR (1930), last week, I am screaming for more Billie Dove! When TCM honored Harold Lloyd in April of 2003, gobs of new fans where made, and it led to an eventual 7 disc DVD collection in November of 2005.
Still a little bit peeved at TCM though because they didn't even give Anita Page a standard "TCM REMEMBERS" segment when She past away a couple weeks back. That just was not fair! Probably budget cuts again, or maybe they are limited to only so many of these during any given year?

Wendy,
CITY GIRL is also in the set with Mary Duncan. Here are a couple more Clara Bow photos. To bad that she doesn't have a DVD set coming out.
*Clara Bow, Coffee Maiden*
*Clara Bow, Legs On A Box*

Film_Fatale,
Thanks, but the Eye-color is wrong. I will have to change this on most of them.

Kate,
If you recall, There had been some talk of a special DVD with both THE RAGMAN, and EXIT SMILING on it. The Two films that Linda scored for TCM. The chances of a complete set with all the winners is unlikely to happen, because at least 4 of them are already out on DVD.
Unless they would include every film that the have winners scored, not just the initial one's, Warner's would be releasing ACE OF HEARTS, CAMILLE, LAUGH CLOWN LAUGH, and THE TEMPTRESS over again. THE RAGMAN, SOULS FOR SALE, THE SHOW, and BEAU BRUMMEL, are the ones that haven't been released. But all of the winners except for the final winner James Schafer scored two or more, and not just one Silent film for TCM. Vivekk Maddalla, has scored several. Other then ACE OF HEARTS, there was Marion Davies, THE PATSY, Garbo's THE MYSTERIOUS LADY (already on DVD), and King Vidor's WILD ORANGES, plus the short THE FLAG. Scott Salinas has scored at least three of them I think? Oh, Boy, I just murdered those spelling's probably? Will need to look up those names.
Anyway, Shafer I assume will be scoring, or already has scored another film other than just Barrymore's BEAU BRUMMEL? Maybe Colleen Moore's HER WILD OAT (1927)? Though what ever other movie He scored hasn't aired on TCM yet. Part of the prize was the chance to score two films not just one.
In addition to THE TEMPTRESS, Michael Picton also scored Marion Davies great comedy THE RED MILL. Sure would be wonderful to see that on DVD. Besides SOULS FOR SALE, Marcus Sjowall also composed a very fine score for William Haines THE SMART SET. Darrel Raby scored Tod Browning's/John Gilbert's THE SHOW, and Haines SPRING FEVER. I loved the score to THE SHOW, but was let down by his encore. In any event, Chances of getting these all in one collection are probably remote. I mean we are still waiting for THE BIG PARADE , and that sounds as if it's finally forth coming next year.

Mike,
What happened to Virginia's face? It is all scrunched together, and sharply angled in this photo? The aspect ratio is clearly not right? Someone must have re-sized it improperly? The few films in which I have seen Virginia Lee Corbin, man did she ever look Smokin'!
Angie,
Happy you like the photos. I just posted them on Silver Screen Oasis too.
-
Angie,
The photo looks good, but there is to much glare on the side of her face. The original photo probably did not look this way? I colorized the Clara Bow photo's with you in mind, as I had not done any of her in quite some time. I will post these in Scott's thread later on too. He may not find them here?
I need some nice pictures of Mary Duncan. Also Virginia Lee Corbin.
-
Angie,
Thanks, I thought they they were Brown too. This is easily fixable. I should be able to change the Eye-color without to much trouble and repost the photos later.
-
ugaarte,
Thanks. I just added a few more Clara Bow photo's to the post. She appears to be in the mood to Rub-Noses I would say?
-
Mike,
Thanks, I added a couple more to the Clara Bow photo's.
Angie,
No, I don't really see much of a resemblance between Janet Gaynor, and Clara Bow. What were the color of Bow's eyes? I may have them wrong?

And here is the lovely lady In the Number 5 Spot of Top 10 Female Stars of 1928, according to the Moving Picture World Survey.
*Delores Del Rio, Timeless Beauty.*
*Delores Del Rio, Lordy Mama!!!*
*Charles Farrell is in danger of being taken advantage of here. A vexing Delores Del Rio seems determined to have Her way with him! From Raoul Walsh THE RED DANCE (Fox, 1928)*

Minya,
I am under the impression that this version on E-bay is from Grace McKee of vintagefilmbuff.com. If so, her stuff is generally excellent quality.
I don't have her SEVENTH HEAVEN, but I would be interested to see what it looks like, and compare it to my own program that I worked on. I don't know her personally. but I was very pleased with the prints of UNDERWORLD, and CITY GIRL, that I bought from Grace web-site.
