Name Game Time Again

PostSun Jul 08, 2012 11:44 am

Can you name these two famous silent film actresses here incognito in ArcadeCards:

Clue: This actress is usually a blond but her hair is styled the same way she wore it in many of her silents. Good Luck.

If I were to mention sports, it would be giving this actress away seen here enjoying a swim or beach frolic.
Clue: She usually played beautiful vamps in silents.

sepiatone,

:D Wild guess on the first one. Constance Talmadge? The second one, Wow! :shock: What a figure! Looks like Renee Adoree to me, who definitely had that kind of figure. But Renee didn't play Vamps much. Maybe Jackie Logan? She also had all kinds of shape to her. Renee and Jacqueline boasted similar dimples, and eyes. :lol:

Oh, the Sports clue, Swimming Clue. Annette Kellerman for the second one? Played Vamps???

Sepiatone,

:? Err, How about Betty Compson for the second photo? Compson had a great figure too.

:o OK, wait a minute, I think I've got number 2 figured out? Is she Phyllis Haver?

Phyllis Haver


:roll: Also any chance that the first one might be Mildred Harris? Can we get a hint? Like maybe a studio name?

Er, is the first one Carmel Myers? Maybe Billie Burke? Also, I've noticed that they look rather similar to each other. I doubt this to be true, but are they one and the same? If not, is the second one Sally O'Neil? Or maybe Sue Carol?

Oh!! Gagman, so close with the Phyllis Haver. Haver and #2 actress 'were' in the same film, a famous silent film.

On the site where these pictures are originally posted they are listed as unidentified. So you're saying that you've figured out who they are?

Richard:

yep that's right, I didn't originally provide a link to chuck's main page because I thought some of the photos might be considered too racy for Nitrateville. But if some found their way to the main page they would hopefully keep the nature of the photos in historical context.

:? Well, you have already confirmed that it isn't Marie Prevost. Certainly not Dolores Del Rio, or Virginia Bradford. So that leaves just one possibility. However her hair is so light here. You said they were in the same film, so I am thinking of FIG LEAVES. Are you saying that it is Olive Borden? Olive certainly had a Blockbuster figure, but it doesn't really look much like her as far as the facial features are concerned at all.
