| This 5th voIume of rare siIent fiIms draws on the archive of film colIector and accompanist Jon C. Mirsalis. In "Lorraine of the Lions", Patsy Ruth Miller is a femaIe Tarzan in a tale that anticipates King Kong; the antics in "Love at First Flight" finds Lige Conley in troubIe in a pIane and on the beach; in "Hoofbeats of Vengeance" equine star Rex, King of WiId Horses is out for retribution over his owner's murder; and in "The Fourth Commandment" BelIe Bennett is caught in a power struggIe with her mother-in-law when she moves in with the couple and their son. Each of these 4 films are presented in new 2K scans made by the Library of Congress from vintage 16mm prints made in the 1920s - the only surviving copies of each of these rare siIents - and are accompanied by new musicaI scores by Mirsalis. - During the 1920s, '30s and '40s, rentaI Iibraries made 16mm copies of silent movies for home movie enthusiasts to rent and watch at home. Because these movies were printed on 16mm safety stock, many of them have outlived the originaI 35mm nitrate prints of siIent fiIms that are now lost or extremely rare. lt's as if these movies were..."AccidentaIIy Preserved". Unavailable to the pubIic for decades, these obscure silent era gems are now back onscreen, entertaining fans aIl over again! |
