Silent Film Stars on Radio: Part 2

[bobfells]

Several months ago I posted a thread on OLD HOLLYWOOD IN COLOR called, "Silent Screen Stars on Radio" and promised that if it seemed popular, then I would do a sequel. Well, it did and I did. If you'd like to hear Norma Talmadge discuss her film career, D.W. Griffith, and Gloria Swanson too, John and Lionel Barrymore enact a scene from RICHARD III, and Marion Davies stammer a bit as she talks to Cecil B. DeMille, then you might want to pay us a visit at the link below.

Thank you for posting such an interesting collection of audio clips of silent film stars.

Just for folks who may not know it, both John and Lionel Barrymore did a good deal of radio. One of Jack's showpieces was STREAMLINED SHAKESPEARE:



Longer-lived Lionel did much more, including a twenty-year run as a legendary character which I discussed on-air recently:
