Hello All:

Here are some terrific images which I thought you'd all enjoy looking at, from a large collection of silent films which I've recently purchased. Anyone recognize the actors or films? thanks!

number 1: Taylor Holmes portrait.

number 2: gal on right holding other womans hands is Blanche Sweet, I think this is THE SOWERS (1916).

number 8: Stuart Holmes on left, Richard Talmadge in middle, this is ON TIME (1924).

number 9: Guy on left is Thurston Hall.

number 14: L to R: Herman Hack, unknown, Blackie Whiteford, Paul Panzer (seated), Harry Cording, this is Dwain Esper's NARCOTIC (1933).


Thats all for now.

[Louie Despres]

Nothing here although nos. 3 & 5 are from the same film.

[Gary Johnson]

Richard, now that you have identified Thurston Hall I can definitely see his likeness in that still.
We tend to forget that those great character actors of the sound era were young once.

[Ian Elliot]

Looks (to me) like Doodles Weaver in the bowler.

#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.
