Favorite photos of silent stars

Oh fair warning about Eraserhead, a good review of it: A dream of dark and troubling things, guaranteed to cause permanent psychological damage ! and that's no joke! Weirdest and most disturbing film I have ever seen.

One of my favorite stars Emil Jannings having his makeup applied for his role as Mephisto in Faust.

This is a really neat photo of... Guess who! Anna May Wong!

Think I'll be skipping that one. Got enough psychological damage already.

This is a picture of the players in the Kalem New York branch. August 1912 Motion Picture Story Magazine.

I like that one. I don't think I would have recognized Anna Q. Nilsson without the caption, nor Alice Joyce. The one labeled Marian Cooper—I've never heard of an actress by that name. I wonder if that could be Miriam Cooper—it does resemble her. I've read her autobiography, but can't remember if she worked for Kalem.

Yes, she did and that's a good catch!! I didn't even realize. I thought it read Miriam.

Mary Philbin listening to the radio. Now a radio was radio in those days!

Interesting picture! This one is from 1912 while Kalem was in Ireland. I think Kalem was extremely interesting. Gene Gauntier wrote many of their photoplays as well as acted.

Imagine my excitement when I got to this page in the September 1912 issue of Motion Picture Story Magazine. It's Mary Pickford in a Biograph! The man is listed as J. Jiquel Lanoe on IMDB. The Progressive Silent Film List states that prints exist in the Mary Pickford Institute for Film Education film collection, but I don't see it online anywhere. If anyone can find it somewhere, please post it!
