I haven't seen that one yet. That name sounds so familiar to me, but I can't see anything I recognize in her filmography.

Here's a good portrait of Wallace Reid.

Adorable photo! Now, where to get that outfit...

Peter Pan is a MUST SEE! I loved that film. I could watch it over and over again.

I see it's on YouTube with a good quality score. I'll have to add it to my list. :)

Sigh... :) This looks to be from Girl Shy.

By the way, I'd always been curious as to what Jobyna's voice sounded like. She was in 2 or 3 talkies before she retired. Here are some clips from one of them.

Cool! I always imagined her voice to be a hair deeper, and 'breathier' (think Marilyn Monroe). Not sure why, lol.

There's something so bold and striking about this image of Pola Negri.
