Al St. John in Lovemania (which is extant and on YouTube, surprisingly—though with French titles. :( )

I wonder who the nurse with the black hair and bangs is?
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...

Apparently, one Doris Deane, who was actually married to Roscoe Arbuckle at one time. (A link below this photo invites me to a celeb gossip site with the question: "Who is Doris Deane dating?" Uh...nobody, now. :roll: )

Lobby card for Ladies' Night in a Turkish Bath (1928). Wonder if this is by the same artist who did the Colleen Moore posters upthread. This is also a First National Pictures production... :geek:

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Right? I thought of him throughout that whole short.

Great find! There's such scant images to be found online. I found this other poster for Flying Wheels (1926). I also thought of Harold Lloyd when watching that short; not just because of the glasses, but her mannerisms as well.

Yes! You're right.

There's also a dearth of photos. I was going to post one in the photo thread, but couldn't really find one I liked (except for one watermarked and copyrighted—I believe).
