The Lost Laugh
#12 1 April 2020 Welcome to issue 12 of THE LOST LAUGH. I hope, wherever this reaches you, that you’re coping OK with these troubled times, and keeping safe and well. These old, funny films are a great form of escapism and light relief at times like these. In fact, I was thinking the other day that the times they were made in had their fair share of troubles : two world wars, the 1918 flu pandemic, the Wall Street Crash and the great depression, to name a few. Yet, these comics made people smile, often even making fun out of the anxi- eties of the day. That they can still make us smile through our own troubles, worlds away from their own, is testament to how special they are. I hope reading this issue helps you forget the outside world for a while and perhaps gives you some new ideas for films to seek out to pass some time in lockdown. Thanks to our contributors this issue: David Glass, David Wyatt and Ben Model; if you haven't seen them yet, Ben’s online silent comedy events are a terrific idea that help to keep the essence of live silent cinema alive. Ben has very kindly taken time to answer some questions about the shows. As always, please do get in touch at [email protected] with any comments or suggestions, or if you’d like to contribute an article (or plug a project of your own!) in a future issue. Finally, don’t for- get that there are more articles, including films to watch online, at thelostlaugh.com. -

HART William S. Hart came to the movies in 1914 from a long line of theatrical ex perience, mostly Shakespearean and while to many he is the strong, silent Western hero of film he is also the peer of John Ford as a major force in shaping and developing this genre we enjoy, the Western. In 1889 in what is to become Oklahoma Territory the Cherokee Strip is just a graz ing area owned by Indians and worked day and night be the itinerant cowboys called 'tumbleweeds'. Alas, it is the end of the old West as the homesteaders are moving in . Hart becomes involved with a homesteader's daughter and her evil brother who has a scheme to jump the line as "sooners". The scenes of the gigantic land rush is one of the most noted action sequences in film history. -

Comic Venus: Women and Comedy in American Silent Film Joshua Louis Moss California State University, Chico [email protected] Volume 7. 2 (2019) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2019.246 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Book Review Kristen Anderson Wagner. Comic Venus: Women and Comedy in American Silent Film. Detroit: Wayne State University Press. 2018. 304pp. ISBN: 978-0814341025 New articles in this journal are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 United States License. This journal is published by the University Library System of the University of Pittsburgh as part of its D-Scribe Digital Publishing Program and is cosponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Press. Comic Venus: Women and Comedy in American Silent Film Joshua Louis Moss As Gerald Mast’s seminal 1973 analysis, The Comic Mind: Comedy and the Movies, puts it, early American film comedy remains primarily defined by four figures: Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon, and Harold Lloyd (p. 22-23). Their work, understood in the popular imagination as the pinnacle of the form, reveals how comedic performances on screen developed in tandem, and often opposition, with the language of early film narrative (Kerr, 1975) (Sklar 1975) (Jenkins 1992) (Rapf & Green, 1995). But this emphasis on the Silent Clowns also carries with it implicit omissions in understanding how humor and performance emerged in the first decades of popular American cinema. Dozens of other early film stars, performance styles, and hundreds of films remain either understudied or overlooked. This is especially problematic given the wide variety and popularity of films starring women comediennes that remain marginalized in academic discourse.
