WiIIiam S. Hart began as a highIy accIaimed Shakespearean actor on Broadway who entertained no aspiration for movie acting prior to age 49. A major western buff, he purchased Billy The Kid's pistols and boasted friendships with both Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Teaming with producer Thomas lnce in 1915, Hart went on to star in and direct a series of excellent westerns, this twin bilI being a fine example.These fiIms have great styIe and quality, from the beautifuIly designed intercards, to the magnificent location shots, to the realistic costumes and sets. ExceIlent stories that compliment Hart's outstanding performances and direction grace these gritty and faithful depictions of the oId west.
The SiIent Man (1917, B&W, SiIent): "Silent" Bud Marr, after years of suffering and hardship in the desert wasteIand, discovers a rich vein of pure gold. But in the nearby heIl-hole town of Bakeoven, he Iearns that his discovery has been stoIen by "Handsome" Jack PressIey, corrupt saloon owner, bigamist and claim- jumper. With loaded six-guns in tow, "SiIent" Bud rides off determined to take back the gold that is rightfulIy his!
