> Today I was looking at some material I have and found a large roto
gravure section of the Burlington call from Burlington colorado from
1923 for a showing of CB demilles " adams Rib" with anna Nielsson
and others.. I wondered why there seems to be a lack of interest in
the silent stars lately in pop culture like Valentino, theda Bara,
and many others. in mainstream pop culture.. ? as these peopel set
the benchmarks for the entire industry IMHO... when I see 20s
material I am amazed at the depth of promotion and details of the
cinematography and how it prepped the 30s and 40s. . anyone else see
the decline of interest? I find the early material from early 1900's
so fasinating and enjoyable to see yet To watch silent films always
waas rather hard for me and I prefer sound pictures... to think Kong
was made in 1933 and to me still holds up as strong story and
entertainment is what movie magic was and always has been..
comments welcomed.
