Re: TOO MUCH SPEED (1927) Bobby Ray

I guess matching plot summaries doesn’t always work too well for silent shorts.
So this is an example of Rayart cost-cutting by simply remaking a recently released Universal short?

Here's the studio they filmed in and around. You can see the skylight. To the right is the storefront where they line up: 6242 North Broadway, Chicago. They should have hired the funny little fellow who was first in line.

Re: Western New York Film Festival now a reality

I've been looking for a good excuse to go back to Buffalo. 3 years ago, I spent 24 hrs there while on my way to Capitolfest. My preconception of Buffalo as bleak and decaying was completely false.

Re: some silent film stills

#6 Ralph Graves and Gloria Swanson in Prodigal Daughters 1923- their only gig together.
I can't find any other images of Swanson with her hair up in this movie or in that winged dress, but of course she probably had 30 costume changes.
