Warden Callaway Posted September 25, 2023 Author Posted September 25, 2023 A really good sharp copy of Buster Keaton movie, "Seven Chances". Not much physical comedy in first half but it really picks up as it goes along.
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 I watched Last of the Mohicans (1920) silent on Amazon. Wallace Beery cast as Magua. Pretty interesting film. Selected for the National Film Registry in 1995. I don't know how to add it here.

Warden Callaway Posted October 1, 2023 Author Posted October 1, 2023 John Ford western with Harry Carey as star. Note how John Ford uses doorways to fram his scene - even if it's other objects.
Warden Callaway Posted October 6, 2023 Author Posted October 6, 2023 A Douglas Fairbanks and Wallace Beery movie. Wallace Beery made hundreds of movies but only a few show up in public domain. This one is pretty sharp condition. Shows lots of scenery of the time (1920) and Hopie Indians.
Warden Callaway Posted October 18, 2023 Author Posted October 18, 2023 Charles King was in many of the old B-Western moves. Got beat up thousands of times. I was shocked to find him in this old silent movie comedy. It's hard to recognize him so slender.
Warden Callaway Posted October 29, 2023 Author Posted October 29, 2023 Really good W. C. Fields movie.
Warden Callaway Posted November 5, 2023 Author Posted November 5, 2023 This Harold Lloyd movie has been redone in color. He teams up with a giant man over 7' tall and 500 pounds. Lots of action and pretty funny. I think they said it was the biggest movie of 1923.
Warden Callaway Posted November 11, 2023 Author Posted November 11, 2023 Our Gang in War Feathers. Dressed like cowboys and Indian, they wreak havoc on the train. They get off at Red Dog, a western town. Get involved with outlaws and wild indians.
Warden Callaway Posted November 21, 2023 Author Posted November 21, 2023 Really good western in good shape. Wallace Beery is Rhode Island Red. Good old time stuff. Hero shoots frontier gunfighter.
Warden Callaway Posted November 23, 2023 Author Posted November 23, 2023 Rather strange western. No Man's Law. The really bad guy is Oliver Hearty. Some nudity. Wild horse comes to rescue.
Warden Callaway Posted December 9, 2023 Author Posted December 9, 2023 If you like slapstick comedy, here is Charlie Chaplin in "behind the screen"

Warden Callaway Posted January 5, 2024 Author Posted January 5, 2024 Not a really entertaining movie. But interesting in that it pokes fun at the future 100 years from when it was made in 1920s. A world where men become feminine and women become masculine. Note too, the flying "jitney" bus. In early days of automobiles, car owner's would charge a small fee to drive people. Like UBER today.
Warden Callaway Posted January 11, 2024 Author Posted January 11, 2024 A really good Charlie Chaplin movie. Lots of funny situations. I don't think it's been shown before. Big cast and sets.
Warden Callaway Posted January 15, 2024 Author Posted January 15, 2024 Short part of a movie that features Edward Kennedy (often cop on Little Rascals) and Stuart Erwin. Lots of slapstick.
Warden Callaway Posted January 29, 2024 Author Posted January 29, 2024 Early "Lonesome Luke" character that changed into Harold Lloyd. Lonesome Luke was an opposite of Charlie Chaplin with his tight short pants and different mustache. His buddy is Snub Pollard. Famous in his day but later B Western comic sidekick and finally often an extra barfly.
Warden Callaway Posted February 1, 2024 Author Posted February 1, 2024 If you watch any B-Western movies, chances are you've seen Charlie King. The stocky man got beat up and shot in some 427 features. Did you know he started out with silent movies? Stared in this pretty common comic slapstic movie. Never seen him so thin.
Warden Callaway Posted February 9, 2024 Author Posted February 9, 2024 Bebe Daniels was a female silent movie star. Here with early Harold Lloyd and Snub Pollard. Kind of short and looks like parts messing.
Warden Callaway Posted February 11, 2024 Author Posted February 11, 2024 Here is an early and successful Harold Lloyd movie, For Heavens Sakes. Very good quality. He wrecks a Dusenberg and an expensive Packard Eight Pheton early in the movie playing a rich guy.

Warden Callaway Posted March 22, 2024 Author Posted March 22, 2024 The big black cook in this movie was George Godfrey, famous boxer way back when. If you're a fan of big nautical battles, you'd enjoy this movie. Quote Old Ironsides (1926) George Godfrey was a heavyweight boxer who fought from 1919-1937. On June 6, 1930, He boxed against future Heavyweight Champion Primo Carnera in Shibe Park, Philadelphia. The New York Times reported, "George Godfrey, giant negro heavyweight of Leiperville, after hammering Primo Carnera, mammoth Venetian, through four rounds of a scheduled 10 round battle which attracted 35,000 fans and about $160,000 in gate receipts, was disqualified on a foul in the 5th round amid scenes of wild disorder." Many observers considered the 1930 fight to be fixed in Carnera's favor. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017226/trivia?item=tr4881807

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 29, 2024 Posted April 29, 2024 When I read the title of this post I thought "Hey! That's a great idea!" Silent movie stars wouldn't be in every form of news, and information media, and in no form of entertainment, spewing their leftist crap all over my nation and influencing our our children and the weak-minded among us and destroying our history, culture and values. Let's try it for a change.
