It's sort of a weird truism...immediately after a brand, spanking, hideously expensive restoration of a formerly lost film is released on blu ray, more footage will be discovered. It's like rain after you've washed your car. Very good point.............It has to do with it has been brought to the a...

" Unlike say Photography I'm under the impression "Films" of this nature are not found at your local garage sale..." Paul Gierucki found the only known print of A THIEF CATCHER, a Keystone comedy with a rare appearance by Chaplin as a Keystone Kop at a flea market sale in MIchigan. P.S. ... There i...

That's the beauty of watching Silent Movies............As if your Observation skills go up, they have to, or the story feels broken...At least for me:)

She acted like a Falling Star who made a Wish to be Famous:)

Never felt she killed herself because she couldn't get the role.......Believe it was a bunch of problems coming together. She picked the Hollywoodland sign because it had 13 letters.Thirteen Women gave her the idea where to go........... She jumped off the 1st letter Why not the 13th one? What to be...

Anyways I just wrote to him asking if any of her Lost Films could be found??? Never thought about it until now.........

Mostly I collect her autograph:) Brooks was such a Archivist........

Thank you for your reply radiotelefonia:)

You guys sure are filling me in on films on Native Americans. It then becomes another niche where one must progress into another area.

Not a problem:) Thanks again.

I'll have to post some of my Louis Brooks collection. One can be all over the place when it comes to Lost Films so staying with what you know seems to be the best move:) By far Vincent's collection is the largest private collection in the world. http://louisebrooks.com/ He's the only one I buy my st...

Thank you for your reply Mr Jacobs:) You really have a nice grasp on Curtis and Native American film works. I was also looking at your one link:

Thank you for setting the You Tube video correctly:) Wonder how it went to a embedded code.......

Maybe this is where some of these Lost Films ended up? Where some ? This is what happened to thousands of films. Films were washed in a chemical bath in order to recover minute amounts of unexposed silver. This was common practice for disposing of release prints. While nitrate fires get the brunt o...

Thank you for your reply:) That was interesting what you wrote and another perspective to see it from. The next day after her death her Uncle received a letter where Peg was invited to the leading role in a play........ The story line being she ends her life by suicide. Peg Entwistle "Mysteries & Sc...

Thank you for your reply:)

It was fascinating to read what you wrote, and that must have taken a long time to accumulate that kind of knowledge experience and wisdom:)

According to Louise Brooks in a letter I read of her's, studios didn't have storage problems, they wanted to melt the films down for silver recovery. Think this is a really bad misconception which I had until I read her letter. Maybe it was a case of both? Hundreds of ounces of silver could be recov...

Then according to Louise Brooks in a letter I read of her's, studios didn't have storage problems, they wanted to melt the films down for silver recovery. Hundreds of ounces could be recovered in silver this way. Maybe this is where "The Glad Rag Doll" finally ended up? http://i68.tinypic.com/2zgvhp...

Thank you for taking your time and consideration in writing to me:) My Field is more Early and Native American photography. Came across some studio stills done by Edward Curtis (A Famous Native American Photographer) on "A Lover's Oath' Something just clicked and now I have a need to help preserve a...

A Lover's Oath (1925) Lost Film 3 Movie stills (Silver Gelatin) by Edward Curtis, a famous Native American photographer, who worked for the movie studios in his later years. They where being sold separate and it just went into a crazy bidding war..........Was it Curtis creating the market or the rar...

Isn't it ironic that Peg Entwistle appeared in only one film, Thirteen Women, and where her story ended at? It's like my friends kid is who named Abby and her mother said she just picked out the name......Cough cough......Kid your named after the nearest female road near your house called Abbyille R...

Well Thank You:) Do enjoy many others, like Louise Brooks. Actually I own a card signed by her. It's fun finding out the inside stories, like the one's most people wouldn't even know about. Brooks never had a problem speaking her own mind........To quote her from a letter I have of her's: She wasn't...

The Scarlet Letter with Lillian Gish.........Her book Lillian Gish: The Movies, Mr. Griffith and Me is a fascinating read........ Which to me is her long quest to be as Wise as possible............Make sure you buy her 1st edition which to my knowledge she signed every copy. http://i65.tinypic.com/o...
