Silent Movies SILENT MOVIES The following films from the the Silent Movie era have public domain music. However, the music is often not synched with the action on screen.

  • Charlie Chaplin the Mutual Comedies with Music by Carl Davis
    Charlie Chaplin The Mutual Comedies With music by Carl Davis A Limited Edition 2-disc Blu-ray set and a 2- disc DVD set of Charlie Chaplin’s Mutual Comedies will be released by the BFI on 18 May 2015. Previously only available on two DVD volumes from the BFI, the films have been fully restored in High Definition and brought together in a single edition for the first time. The collection features music by acclaimed silent film composer Carl Davis and a raft of special features. Charlie Chaplin entered the film industry in 1914. By 1916 he was the highest paid entertainer in the world after signing a contract with the Mutual Film Corporation for a salary of $670,000. Mutual built Chaplin his very own studio and allowed him total freedom to make 12 two-reel films during a 12-month period. Chaplin subsequently recognized that time as the most inventive and liberating of his career. These 12 films demonstrate the breadth of his abilities as both a physical entertainer and a subtle, endearing character actor. Among the classics included here are The Immigrant, which endures as a comic masterpiece; Easy Street – a watershed moment in Chaplin’s career; The Floorwalker, which shows his inventive and balletic use of mechanical props; The Vagabond, where he successfully combines pathos and comedy to create a lyrical love story and The Pawnshop which is famous for the hilarious routine in which he dissects an alarm clock. Composer Carl Davis is available for interview. The Mutual Comedies The Floorwalker, The Fireman, The Vagabond, One A.M., The

  • The World's Largest and Most Extraordinary Collection
    For Immediate Release: THE WORLD’S LARGEST AND MOST EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF SIGNED HOLLYWOOD PHOTOGRAPHS WILL BE OFFERED AT JULIEN’S AUCTIONS IN LOS ANGELES ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2016 Harold Lloyd’s Rogues Gallery of Exclusive Hollywood Autographed Photographs Los Angeles, California – (September 15, 2016) – Julien’s Auctions, the world-record breaking auction house to the stars, will present one of the world’s most extraordinary collections of autographed Hollywood photographs — Harold Lloyd’s Rogues Gallery — on Friday, September 23, 2016 in Los Angeles. The collection features nearly 200 rare, signed photographs from Hollywood’s Golden Era. The auction will take place at the highly-anticipated Icons & Idols: Hollywood auction event that weekend at Julien’s Auction Gallery in Los Angeles. The Rogues Gallery Autograph Collection is the most extensive and unique autograph collection amassed by the silent film star Harold Lloyd and is comprised of the most significant figures of Hollywood’s “Golden Age.” This one-of-a-kind collection is a time capsule of Hollywood, Americana and the politics of the day. “The King of Daredevil Comedy,” Harold Lloyd is best remembered today as the young man dangling desperately from a clock tower in the 1923 classic, “Safety Last.” At the height of his career, Lloyd was one of the most popular and highest-paid stars of his time. He made more films than his contemporaries Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton combined. With hits like his 1922 film “Grandma’s Boy,” Lloyd became a strong force in bringing about the advent of the “feature-length” film. Harold Lloyd’s acting career rose to prominence during the silent film era and spanned 34 years of active filmmaking, over 200 comedies and one 1928 Academy Award nomination.

  • Canutt Saddle Wes Cowan
    Episode 901, Story 3 – Canutt Saddle Wes Cowan: This case asks if this saddle helped carry the all-American cowboy onto the silver screen. Archival film: “Cʼmon, get in your saddle. We gotta go tell this chief!” Wes: In 1930s Hollywood, audiences thrilled to death defying stunts. Rhett Butler leading Scarlett OʼHara out of a burning Atlanta in “Gone with the Wind,” angry Indians attacking the Ringo Kid in “Stagecoach,” and the cowboys who leaped, punched and tumbled in scores of films. What part did one man play in all these iconic action scenes? Now, Terry Garber from McCall, Idaho wonders if this saddle was ridden by a man who may have created the Hollywood stuntman. Iʼve got a few questions for Terry. Wes: Hey, Terry. Terry Garber: Hi, Wes. Wes: Oh, wow. let me help you there. Terry: I got it out of a bar in Weiser, Idaho. Wes: Now, are you a saddle collector then? Do you collect Western memorabilia? Terry: Yeah, I do. I collect lots of Western things. 1 Wes: So, what attracted you to this saddle? Terry: I bought it because of the name on the cantle. Wes: So, CANN-UTT. And then thereʼs a Y-A-K in the middle. Yak Canutt. Whoʼs Yak Canutt? Terry: Yakima was a world champion rodeoer. I heard heʼd moved to Hollywood and did stunt work. Wes: Terryʼs done some digging, and he believes Yakima Canutt was a stuntman in Hollywood movies, but I have to admit, Iʼve never heard of him Wes: So you think this was Yakima Canuttʼs saddle then? Terry: I hope so.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

  • HAROLD LLOYD Brooklyn Speedy Film Location Tour a SILENT VISIONS Tour of Brooklyn This Tour Is Provided As a Spec
    HAROLD LLOYD Brooklyn Speedy Film Location Tour A SILENT VISIONS Tour of Brooklyn This tour is provided as a special bonus to author John Bengtson’s introduction of Harold Lloyd’s Speedy at Film Forum, 209 West Houston Street, New York, on Sunday, October 21 at 3:10 pm, and on Monday, October 22 at 7:30 pm, supplementing his book Silent Visions: Discovering Early Hollywood and New York through the Films of Harold Lloyd, Santa Monica Press (2011). The tour is annotated with corresponding page numbers (SV) from Bengtson’s book. Harold Lloyd filmed his final silent comedy feature Speedy (1928) in New York and Brooklyn during the late summer of 1927. Aside from a lengthy sequence filmed at Coney Island (filmed partly at Venice, California), most of the Brooklyn locations were filmed in the D.U.M.B.O. (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) neighborhood. While the elevated trolley tracks appearing in the film that once ran along Old Fulton Street and along Broadway no longer exist, many filming spots are still recognizable. Lloyd plays title character Harold “Speedy” Swift (“Speedy” was Lloyd’s real‐life nickname), who celebrates losing his soda jerk job by taking his girl, Jane (played by Ann Christy), to Coney Island for the day. Speedy’s next job as a taxi‐cab driver ends disastrously, but not before he takes Babe Ruth (in a cameo appearance) on a wild ride to Yankee Stadium. Jane’s grandfather, Pop, operates the last remaining horse‐drawn trolley franchise in New York. Shady developers wish to buy out Pop’s interest, but when he refuses their low offer, they steal his trolley, as they know the franchise will expire if the trolley does not run at least once every 24 hours.
