Scottman, '
Thanks. Here's my Gal!

Scottman,
Can you burn me a copy of *THREE WHO LOVED?* I owe you some stuff. I have a good print of *DANGEROUS CURVES* if you are interested. The AMPAS programs were great. Thanks much. When my inbox collapsed I think I lost your current E-mail address. The old one doesn't work. Just keeps bouncing. Still don't have a new Hard-drive recorder. I might have to reley on you to get the Silent version of *ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT* recorded too if that is OK?

Bronxi,
Interesting video, but is that *LADY OF SPAIN* as the first piece? I have not seen *BLOOD AND SAND* in a long time. I know that Rudy was displeased with the climax because Paramount promised it would be shot in Spain, but they cut corners and made the entire film on the studio backlot. Don't really remember the picture all that well. I have seen many other Valentino films several times eac, but not *BLOOD AND SAND.*
Wendy,
Yes, I know that *THE POWER AND THE GLORY* is on Sunday. Believe it or not I have never seen it beyond the first 15 minutes or so. Still extremely disappointed that *REDEMPTION* was pulled Monday Morning for the Cliff Robertson tribute.Did anyone see that Pre-code with Conrad Nagle and Betty Compson that aired the other day?

musicalnovelty,
Thanks for finding these rare Colleen Moore stills for me. I sincerely appreciate it. *THE POWER AND GLORY* Is on Sunday. This might be a TCM Premiere since it is a Fox film?
Madigrind,
I colorized the first still. You can see the results in the Silent Crushers thread.I have a few Lobby-Cards and a trade Ad or two for *SMILING IRISH EYES* I have uploaded in the past.

Wendy,
It's not really an Ad for *GIRL SHY* specifically, just Harold Lloyd's feature comedies in general. Emphasizing how they bring in the gals! Have lots of rare Harold Ad's I could post here.Graphics are very large though. Need to reduce them in size first.
Meantime, this is a new find:
*Renee Adoree-"Dreams Of Paris"*

He's got all the Pretty Young Ladies in A Tizzy!

Ginny,
Note, there is a Ford At Fox set with about 12 discs that also has early talkies. It is very expensive. But the there is also a Ford at Fox Box set that has just the Silents I mentioned for much cheaper.

{font:Times New Roman}You can buy this movie as part of the 5 disc Ford At Fox Silents Box set. Which also includes *JUST PALS (1921), THE IRON HORSE (1925)* in 2 versions, *3 BAD MEN (1926),* and *HANGMAN'S HOUSE (1928).* A terrific collection of rare titles, though I wish it had featured a few more than it does. Looking for my Color Trade Ad's to *FOUR SONS.*
*OK, here are a couple pages:*

Hi, the film you are describing is John Ford's *FOUR SONS (1928)* with Margarette Mann, James Hall, Ralph Bushman, June Collyer, Etc. Actually, the early part of the picture is set in Bavaria, not Germany. Though strangely overlooked by the Academy for a nomination, this picture won the Photoplay Magazine Medal of Honor as the best film of 1928 from the fans. If is on DVD, and has been shown on TCM. Unfortunately, it is not availble with the original Fox Movie-tone score, which is so powerful. Instead it was given a new score that does not do this great motion picture justice.

rrick,
TCM still has not broadcast the 2004 restoration of *THE BIG PARADE.* They only air the Thames Silents edition that was produced for British Television in 1983. I have waited for seven years, year after year for the fully restored version re-mastered from the long last original camera negatives found at Eastman House in 1997 to premiere. It was screened in L..A. at AMPAS just last month. Scottman, and Ron Atkins both sent me programs. They said that the print is extraordinary.

Hey Scottman! Thanks much for the great AMPAS programs from the Summer Silents Series. Have you heard about Luubitsch *THE LOVES OF PHARAOH* coming to DVD. Maybe in the next couple months! Restoration is truly staggering!
-
I had not seen this movie since the Mid to late 90's on the old American Movie Classics channel. I was very happy to see it again, but I have to be honest, I thought that the British film that followed it, I believe made a year earlier in 1948, *MIRANDA* was much, much better. I found the film utterly enchanting, and fell in love with Glynis Johns. What a gorgeous delightful lady she was. Amphibiously beautifu you might say! Had never seen this picture before. It was so much fun.

Is it possible that Anita Page passed away three years ago today? Has it been that long already? I thought it was only a couple years?

Big, Big news here. Take a look at this trailer! Lost Ernst Lubitsch film *THE LOVES OF PHARAOH (1922)* Starring Emil Jannings found and painstakingly restored! DVD and Blu-ray edition is expected out shortly. Before the end of the year! Movie was considered long since gone until 2004, when a forgotten Nitate print turned up in Russia. The original Orchestra score was re-created, and recorded. This is an extremely impressive restoration effort. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNSqu6HdSb8&feature=player_

*Colleen Moore with Her Great Grandmother-1927*

Yes, TCM premiered the new version in May of last year. 2010. It was also a fresh-transfer of the film from David Shepard's Film Preservation Associates.

I maintain that Richard Dix was already a rising Star when he landed the lead in De Mille's THE TEN COMMANDMENTS in 1923. The rest of the decade He was one of ther reigning Top Male Stars. The trades and Fan magazines of the period make this perfectly clear.
Mary Astor is maybe not thought of as a Big Silent Star. However, she had several sizeable Hits during the 20's. And she often received top billing as a leading lady. In addition, Astor was generally considered among the movies great beauties during the decade.

TomJH,
Yes, Ronald Colman was an immediate sensation with his first American film THE WHITE SISTER in 1923. Yes, he was one of the biggest Male Stars of the 20's. His films with Vilma Banky starrting with THE DARK ANGEL (1925) were extremely successful. A Photoplay article from 1925 shows that Gilbert and Colman were great rivals, and virtually equal in Star status. BEAU GESTE (1926) was one of the most popular and acclaimed films of the 1920's.
Gilbert Roland made a splash as Norma Talmadge leading man in the late Silent period. Richard Arlen and Buddy Rogers were very popular in the early 30's. As was Charles Farrell, inspite of his weak voice. Ramon Navarro maintained is Star Status for some years.
Actually, Richard Dix was a very big Star throughout the 20's. By 1925, He was generally considered Paramount's top Male Star. Valentino had gone to United Artists, and Wallace Reid had been dead for a couple years. Another guy would be Adolphe Menjou, who certainly kept his Star Status into the 30's and 40's.
Clara Bow actually retained her popularity pretty well into 1931. She was still about as big a Star as there was. It was scandel that destroyed her career. Not her so-called Brooklyn accent, or the talkies. That's a total myth.
Mickey Rooney had the Mickey McGuier series as a kid. Became much bigger in talkies.
