This month is all about the top female stars of the silent era. These are the ladies who made it into the history books and are remembered to this day as the most popular actresses of their time.
While I am preparing my new reviews for publication, here are some past reviews of superstar films:
Daddy Long Legs: Mary Pickford
The Wind: Lillian Gish
The Social Secretary: Norma Talmadge
Barbed Wire: Pola Negri
Why Change Your Wife?: Gloria Swanson
Mantrap: Clara Bow
Ella Cinders: Colleen Moore
Review #1: The Gish Sisters
An Unseen Enemy (1912)
The famous siblings made their debut together in this suspenseful melodrama.
Review #2: Florence Lawrence
The Country Doctor (1909)
An extremely rare film featuring the woman considered by many to be the first true movie star.
Review #3: Gloria Swanson
Manhandled (1924)
Gloria Swanson abandons her beaded gowns and ostrich plumes to play a naive shop girl in this romantic comedy.
Review #4: Clara Bow
Parisian Love (1925)
Before she hit it big, Clara Bow churned out dozens of potboilers. This one is directed by Louis “Reefer Madness” Gasnier.
