christyotwisty 🇨🇦 (prime acc<p><a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/SilentMovieDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentMovieDay</span></a> went okay. I learned my son equates silent comedy with slapstick, and Raymond Griffith was not a physical comedian. The scenes where Griffith is with two sisters my son decried as too long. I also learned my son likes best the comedians who had complete artistic control over their films.</p>

Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>“His New Job” was Charlie Chaplin’s first film for Essanay Studios after he left Keystone in late 1914. It’s also the only film that Chaplin shot in Chicago, where Essanay Studios was based.

Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>What I like about the 1927 version of “Chicago” is that even if you know the beats of the story from the musical there’s a lot of differences between the two stories. That’s because the play is very short so the writers of the silent drama and of the musical had to come up more story<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentMovieDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentMovieDay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Chicago1927" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chicago1927</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Chicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chicago</span></a></p>

Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Our leading lady Phyllis Haver started her career as a piano accompaniment for silent films at her local theaters. On a whim she auditioned for Mack Sennett and became a “Sennett Bathing Beauty” before embarking on 15yr long film career of nearly 110 credited films She retired in 1930 after making 2 final talkies.
