Marceline Day as Buster Keaton’s non-monkey leading lady. Her acting career was only about 10yrs & spanned only 65 films but in that time she was in several many well known #SilentFilm. She retired in 1933 but spoke fondly about her career

The iconic “Dressing Room Scene” (https://youtu.be/X6D6iZ6B5uY?si=h_EmZjLCCyf6UxNL) marked not only one of the films funniest moments but it was also the film debut of Edward Brophy

Despite “The Cameraman” (1928) being used for years by MGM as an example of the perfect comedy the film was almost lost forever b/c the ONLY COPY was destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire. The current restoration comes from prints found in Paris & a copy found in the early 90s. Additionally, one reel was removed from the film by MGM some time in the 1950s and the current prints have a noticeable 3ish mins or so missing as well.

“The Cameraman” (1928) is considered one of Buster Keaton’s best films. While the directing credit goes to longtime MGM-era Keaton collaborator Edward Sedgwick, it’s known that Keaton was essentially the film’s co-director

If a full 9 hour cut of “Greed” is ever discovered I hope TCM airs it for 24hrs on a loop
#TCMParty #SilentSundayNights #SilentMovieDay #Greed1924

“Greed” is based on Frank Norris’s 1899 novel “McTeague: A Story of San Francisco” which can be read for free here (https://archive.org/details/mcteaguestoryofs0008fran)

Thanks for tuning in! Tomorrow is #SilentMovieDay (https://silentmovieday.org) so tune in to TCM during prime time and late night for some #SilentFilm from 1924. #SilentFlickerSunday will return in either February or March- depending on them TCM does their “31 Days of Oscar”.. Until then I’ll see y’all around. Take care💕

“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. After this he made a deal to shoot his films in California

Finally, we have the short “His New Job” (1915) (https://youtu.be/3SgaLoPxOtQ?si=FeDxZmDGdP-C2eXO) directed by and starring everyone’s favorite British Romani silent comedian: Charlie Chaplin!
#SilentFlickerSunday #SilentMovieDay #HisNewJob #CharlieChaplin #SilentFilm

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
