Scott Lord Silent Film: King of Kings (De Mille,1927)


"I have always made pictures with a message and a moral. True, I have dressed up these in elaborate trappings, principally because I wanted people to see my pictures. Messages without an audience aren't worth very much." Photoplay Magazine during 1927 featured an interview with silent film director Cecil B. De Mille titled "How Christ Came to Pictures" in which he briefly explained his father had been a lay reader who preached in an Episcopal church in Pompton, New Jersey before quickly continuing to his earlier marriage comedy films made before 1920. De Mille ended the interview with "'The King of Kings' has the ring of sincerity. We did it with complete sincerity." Photoplay Magazine during 1927 reviwed "King of Kings" as being an authentic depiction of the events in the Holy Bible, "De Mille has followed the New Testament literally and with fidelity. He has taken no liberties. Frequently, in his groupings, he has followed famous Biblical paintings...Mr. Warner meets the accepted ideas of Christ and gives a very well sustained performance."
Harvard Buisness Reports, describing "The King of Kings" as a film about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, reported in 1930 that the film cost $ 2,000,000 to produce.

Scott Lord Silent Film: Lon Chaney in The Unholy Three (Tod Browning, 1925)

Picture Play Magazine of 1925 featured an article entitled The Troubles of an Actress in which Dorothy Manners interviewed actress Mae Busch. "On Stage No. 1 of the Mtero-Goldwyn-Mayer emporium, 'The Unholy Three' unit was winding up the first day's production. The first scenes - that is the first scenes in the studio- are set against the background of a freak museum. Hence the bearded lady, the sword swallower and the midgets. 'The Unholy Three' is a wonderful box office title. It is also a crook opera of amazing plot."

Scott Lord Silent Film: The Sheik (Melford,1921)

victorseastrom shared this story from Scott Lord on Silent Film Hollywood, Lost Silent Film, Swedish Silent Film, Danish Silent Film.


The 1921 Photoplay review of "The Sheik", starring Rudolph Valentino and Agnes Ayers may or may not infact seem cryptic to modern readers, "For the glamor and beauty of the desert, the colorful costumes, the real love story lend themselves to shadows...The whole is more or less a tangible version of 'Pale hands I love, beside the Shalimar, where are you now, who lies beneath thy spell.' But we wonder what the censors will do to to it."
