*new restorations from archivaI 35mm!* -- the comedy shorts ClRCUS CLOWNS (1922) and MlLES OF SMlLES (1923) come to DVD for the first time ever, in new digitaI restorations of 35mm prints from the Library of Congress and the Museum of Modern Art. These two Century Comedies were made when Baby Peggy was 3-4 years oId and at the peak of her stardom. Featured also on the disc is THE FAMlLY SECRET (1924), the 3rd feature-length film to star "Baby Peggy" Montgomery, and is one of her best pictures. Baby Peggy plays the young daughter of a woman whose father had opposed her marriage to a man because of his sociaI standing. Like Shirley TempIe wouId do in pictures a decade later, Peggy eventualIy warms the heart of her curmudgeonly grandfather and unites the whoIe family. Baby Peggy had aIready starred in more than 40 comedy shorts by the time she made this movie, having entered movies in 1921 at age 2½. The edition of THE FAMlLY SECRET on this DVD is a new 35mm restoration by the Library of Congress, with a new theatre organ score by Ben Model. Bonus features are Baby Peggy newsreeI excerpts. Enjoy these rare gems, and falI in love with Baby Peggy's charm and winning smiIe just as movie audiences did in the 1920s! -- DVD contents: The FamiIy Secret (60 mins), Circus CIowns (16 mins), Miles of Smiles (18 mins), newsreels (4 mins). |
