Re: Brace yourselves. Clara Bow is about to get a lot of attention.

Maybe there will be demand for Her Wedding Night and Kick In to see some type of commercial release. Not holding my breath, but... *crosses fingers* Hey, it could happen.

Anyone know who these are? I want to say the actress is Norma Talmadge...?
It's from this film. I thought that looked like Buddy Rogers, and I also thought that looked like Natalie, but apparently it is Marian Nixon.

Re: Dark Shadows

Re Re 475 Dumb decision to do a closeup of him breathing. I guess since they knew it would be a quick shot, no one would notice. But I did even before I rewound to make sure. I didn't notice it. :oops: And I remember looking closely at it because of odd looking blue-bag thing they had over where the...

Re: Book Reading

I just read a cute little tell a tale book, 58 https://blog.silentphotoplay.com/2024/02/15/train-coming/ Oh, wow, I love that one! I love these little Whitman books—especially if they're about trains! :D I've got this thing about personified trains. A few years ago, I bought and downloaded the enti...

Re: Book Reading

Progress on Penrod : (I wasn't sure where to make a thread on this, so I'll just continue it here.) Though still fairly early in the book, I'm enjoying it very much. :D I was at first put off by Tarkington's drolly ornate writing style, but soon got to like it, as it fits the story and character ver...
