The Side Show of Life

I very much enjoyed the novel it is based on, plus the romantic couple is Anna Q. Nilsson and Ernest Torrence (stills show him looking quite handsome in a WWI General's uniform)

Might have been last year already? I'm not sure. I didn't mention SYNTHETIC SIN or WHY BE GOOD? since neither has been copied to Safety yet as far as I know. But those two Colleen Moore features should be right near the very top of both lists.

Recently, I came as close as you can do to seeing this one. I met a collector who had a booklet that was given out during the original screenings - it was designed to be referred to in lieu of intertitles, and contains lots of pictures from sequences that did not survive. Only around three of these booklets are thought to exist today, so it was an incredible privilege!

I've always wanted to see Annette Kellerman in Daughter of the Gods (1916). I'm also curious about One Glorious Day (1922), which starred Will Rogers in the role originally meant for Roscoe Arbuckle.

And as for films one might actually be able to see in the real world, I've been interested in the two Colleen Moore features mentioned above ever since they were rediscovered. I would happily pay top dollar to see Synthetic Sin for the title alone . . .

I recently saw THE PATSY for the first time this summer and it's my favorite Marion Davies silent now usurping SHOW PEOPLE.

The ones I'd like to see:
*THE TEST OF HONOR(1919) st. John Barrymore(Mordaunt Hall gave this film great reviews)

*THE WITNESS FOR THE DEFENSE(1919) st. Elsie Ferguson; dir. George Fitzmaurice (Univ of North Dakota has a site with clips of this Ferguson silent; the film was found in Gosfilmofond)

*TREASURE ISLAND(1920) st. Shirley Mason, Lon Chaney; dir. Maurice Tourneur(Im a sucker for tropical island theme pictures!)

*THE LOTUS EATER(1921) st. John Barrymore ; dir. Marshall Neilan

*THE QUEEN OF SHEBA(1921) st. Betty Blythe; dir. J. Gordon Edwards - the European export version with purportedly 'ahem' the good stuff!

*HEEDLESS MOTHS(1921) st. Audrey Munson, Holmes Herbert , Hedda Hopper ; dir. Robert Z. Leonard - fabled film with Munson showing artistic nudity, I dont think Hedda showed anything cause that 'would be something to gossip about!'

*DISRAELI(1921) starring George Arliss(his first Disraeli movie); dir. by Henry Kolker(remember Kolker? as an actor he was the top executive whom Barbara Stanwyck seduced in BABY FACE 1933)

*ONE EXCITING NIGHT(1922) dir. DW Griffith' foray into haunted house melodrama - not a lost film but I haven't seen it and Kino wont put it on DVD

*LOST AND FOUND ON A SOUTH SEA ISLAND(1923; Clyde DeVinna was the cameraman on this film and it was made in Tahiti, 5 years before DeVinna returned with MGM, WS Van Dyke & Robert Flaherty for WHITE SHADOWS IN THE SOUTH SEAS

*A BLIND BARGAIN(1922) st. Lon Chaney; dir. Wallace Worsley

*HUMAN WRECKAGE(1923)st. Bessie Love; produced by Dorothy Davenport - some great stills survive of this movie, I hope it's found and I love Bessie Love

*WHERE THE PAVEMENT ENDS(1923) st. Ramon Novarro, Alice Terry; dir by Rex Ingram

*SINNERS IN HEAVEN(1924) st. Bebe Daniels, Richard Dix; dir. Alan Crosland

*MADAME SANS-GENE(1925) st. Gloria Swanson ; dir. Leonce Perret(Swanson sort of talked this film up in her auto biography - it's wonderful if there really has been a print found)

*LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT(1927) st. Lon Chaney; dir. Tod Browning

Post by **Mike Gebert** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 8:54 am

My want-to-see list has been gratified so steadily over the years that I'm really down to either lost films (pointless to list, to me) or obscure European things which would be hard-pressed to make it over the ocean. Though you all have reminded me that, dammit, I had to be out of town for Children of Divorce at the Silent Film Society of Chicago a few years back.

Amok (Fedor Ozep)

Little Friend (Berthold Viertel)

The Ingmarssons (Sjostrom)

La Mystere de Maison, and all those plush Volkov/Mosjoukine costume pictures (Secrets of the Orient, Loves of Casanova, etc.)

Seven Footprints to Satan (Christensen)

and after Pordenone this year, Mutter Krausens Fahrt ins Glück

I thought Anna Q. was beautiful, she doesn't get much love today except for Sunset Blvd. She was marvelously restrained in The Toll Gate (1920), one of the most 'John Fordest' of William S Hart's silent films.
The still I see of Ernest Torrence in TSSoL is in Daniel Blum's "Pictorial History of the Silent Screen" page 260 with Anna Q. & Neil Hamilton and Torrence is dressed as a clown looking similar to Lon in Laugh, Clown, Laugh. Another still of the cast of TSSoL is in a book by Stanley Appelbaum on cinematographers soft back published in the 1980s. James Wong Howe is seen with Herbert Brenon and the rest of the cast in the still set on a large lawn or English style estate and Ernest is dressed in officers uniform.

for me, "The Warrens of Virginia" - 1915 with Blanche Sweet, as I have the only known copy of the one sheet poster. Would also like to see the 1924 version

others, are "Flaming Youth" with Colleen Moore, and the 1924 "Wolfman" with John Gilbert

Since I like those 3-people-stuck-in-a-room dramas, I wish a good print of Tod Browning's WHITE TIGER would turn up.

Related: I would buy a Priscilla Dean box set.

So you don't like Grapevine's DVD-R version? I'm pretty sure that White Tiger only survives in 16mm.

Bach Films of France have released a Tod Browning box set. The included version of WHITE TIGER is a little better than the Grapevine version. Untypically for Bach films it retains the original English intertitles with the added French subtitles.

I really wished that I could see "The Miracle Man" after watching Robert Blake's Chaney bio. I know that it will never happen since it's lost.
I even bought a copy of the original novel (it's also available to read on-line).

Then I found a copy of the 1932 remake. This early sound film has more than satisfied my wish with a story that's even better than the novel (and probably better than the silent). It's a great little 85 minute story featuring Sylvia Sidney.

The guy doing Chaney's part does it just like it's seen in the Silent clip.

I asked Gen McGillicuddy, organizer of the TCM Film Festival this weeks guest on SSO, if there was a chance they might be running HER WILD OAT, LILAC TIME or any Colleen Moore film at the event next year. Haven't heard back from her yet. Likewise, inquired concerning the restored THE BIG PARADE, CHILDREN OF DIVORCE and a few others. Also mentioned the recently restored FIG LEAVES as well. I figure there is a pretty good chance that UPSTREAM will almost certainly be screened.

Um, it's Michael Blake. Not Robert! Bad enough he lived in my neighborhood when the wife was shot near our house.

And it's Kevin Brownlow's documentary, not mine. He's the one who made it. Just want to make sure proper credit is given.

John Wray played Chaney's role in the 1932 remake of THE MIRACLE MAN.
