Warden Callaway Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted September 25, 2023 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
