The Silver Cord is an amazing film, and Laura Hope Crews is spectacular as the vicious and domineering mother. An updated version would certainly give someone like Meryl Streep or Glenn Close a great role.

Did Erik Rhodes ever play a non-accent role?? I can't recall one...

LOL... ok you win...

What make you think he's not holding the parasol for himself?

Is that Charles Farrell with the dog and bouquet?

Great screen caps. I have never seen a Rin Tin Tin movie but remember him from TV, and I always liked June Marlowe as Miss Crabtree. I'm surprised she (Marlowe) didn't have a bigger career.

Lillian Gish with a gun can't hold a candle to Mary Pickford with a wip in Pride of the Clan or Pickford as a KKK rider in Heart o' the Hills....

And I agree, Jeff.... Annie Laurie is a neglected classic.

Oh... I bought my 2 DVDs right from Kino and got them Friday the 5th....

I've never been able to watch Romola either. Lousy print and it jumps..... I did however watch something last last as my Talmadge ets arrived... I started with Her Night of Romance and was not disappointed. While not an all-out comedy, it's a pleasant romantic comedy with top performances by Constan...

As for Talmadges, I've already seen Kiki and Her Sister from Paris but bought the sets anyway to support Kino.

I'd love to see a great restoration of The Lady, which I think is Norma Talmadge's best performance.

My Talmadge DVDs from Kino are set for Friday delivery!

The 1922 Norma Talmadge version just played at the Kansas Silent Film Festival in Topeka so it exists. I like the Jeanette MacDonald version with Brian Aherne and Gene Raymond, but then I like MacDonald and think she's a hugely underrated actress.

Yes I remebered that Gaynor never quite recovered....

I watched the 1920 film Sex , which starred Louise Glaum as a famous dancer who go through men like chewing gum. She steals William Conklin from poor Myrtle Stedman and then dumps him (after their divorce) for Irving Cummings whom she marries. A little girl Glaum is introducing to Broadway (Peggy Pe...
