  • Mabel's Blunder
    Mabel’s Blunder By Brent E. Walker Mabel Normand was the first major female comedy star in American motion pictures. She was also one of the first female directors in Hollywood, and one of the original principals in Mack Sennett’s pioneering Keystone Comedies. “Mabel’s Blunder” (1914), made two years after the formation of the Keystone Film Company, captures Normand’s talents both in front of and behind the camera. Born in Staten Island, New York in 1892, a teenage Normand modeled for “Gibson Girl” creator Charles Dana Gibson before entering motion pictures with Vitagraph in 1910. In the summer of 1911, she moved over to the Biograph company, where D.W. Griffith was making his mark as a pioneering film director. Griffith had already turned actresses such as Florence Lawrence and Mary Pickford into major dramatic stars. Normand, however, was not as- signed to the dramas made by Griffith. Instead, she went to work in Biograph’s comedy unit, directed by an actor-turned-director named Mack Sennett. Normand’s first major film “The Diving Girl” (1911) brought her notice with nickelodeon audiences. A 1914 portrait of Mabel Normand looking Mabel quickly differentiated herself from the other uncharacteristically somber.

  • Colleen Moore Films Acquired by Moma Film
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART lJ4$gSTg£RD STREET, NEW YORK 19, N. Y. TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 FOR RELEASE THURSDAY;- TONS. 15..,..1944 COLLEEN MOORE FILMS ACQUIRED BY MUSEUM OF MODERN ART FILM LIBRARY The Museum of Modern Art announces the gift of a collection of fifteen films starring Colleen Moore. The collection has been pre­ sented to the Museum1s Film Library by Miss Moore herself and includes her most famous motion picture FLAMING YOUTH which epitomizes the Age of the Flapper. Previous gifts made to the Film Library by former motion picture stars of collections of their pictures include those of William S. Hart, the late Douglas Fairbanks, Harold Lloyd and Mary Plckford. The Film Library's collection, which includes most of the outstanding pictures made between 1895 and 1940, totals upwards of 17,000,000 feet of film. Iris Barry, Curator of the Film Library, says of the Colleen Moore gift: "Best remembered of Miss Moore1 s films is FLAMING YOUTH which in 1923 created a considerable furor by its depiction of the morals of the younger generation, their familiarity with cocktails and petting parties. In this and subsequent films Miss Moore, who popularized the Dutch bob, was the living symbol of the.Flapper: FLAMING YOUTH itself was to the early 'twenties what Joan Crawford's DANCING DAUGHTERS was to the close of the decade. Following the immense success of FLAMING YOUTH, Miss Moore became a top box-office star and made in rapid succession a number of pictures ranging from the serious SO BIG based on the Edna Ferber story through WE MODERNS (1926), NAUGHTY BUT NICE (1927), THAT'S A BAD GIRL (1928) and ORCHIDS AND ERMINE (1927) in which the part of a cigar-smoking midget was played by a little boy of five later to be known as Mickey Rooney." Colleen Moore, born in Port Huron, Michigan, in 1902, made her debut in films under contract to David Wark Griffith and is said to have appeared in the great Babylonian crowd scene in his INTOLERANCE, though her first picture for him was THE BAD BOY (1917) with Robert Harron.
