The Old Reader

Once thought to be lost, without any surviving copies of the film, not all eight reels of the film "The Village Blacksmith" have been recovered, the print that now exists being incomplete. Within the world of Lost Films, Found Magazines, the film "The Courtship of poem titles and Miles Standish (Frederick M. Sullivan, 1923) is lost, but there are pages of full page advertisemens of Charles Ray and Enid Bennett in the periodical The Film Daily from the year of its first run. Seven reels in length, "The Wreck of the Hesperus", from 1927, is also a lost film. Directed Elmer Clifton, it was produced by Cecil B. de Mille and starred Virginia Bradford. The two silent film bersion of "The Village Blacksmith" have been mention as being among more than ten adaptations derived from the work of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Jan Christopher Hoak, in his paper American Literature and Silent Film, "All of these films capitalized on the well known poem titles and on certain plot elements from Longfellow. without however intending a faithful adaptation. The same could be said for John Greenleaf Whittier, whose civil war ballad 'Barbara Frietche' was filmed in 1908, 1915 and 1924."
It is of no consequence, but we drove past the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow house in Massachusetts this morning, in a taxi on the way to lunch. There is a nearby house that has a plaque that reads "Longfellow Beach"-if, straining, I read it correctly- that is still a complete mystery to me when driving by, but it is mere curiousity.

Hi,
of course I'm bench pressing and curling- curls are good with repetition, bench press is good with repetition and supplemnted with tricep work. The torso I've worked down to the last increase. The abdomen is a 200lb lift of fifteen reps. I've gained to where I weigh 142 after weighing 133-5 for more than 15 years.
I want the torso. I have the abdomen, I will get the bench press, I have the pulldown.

Make our one night stand three.

By the way, I was born in 1962, as you can see.

Incidentally, blond, no male pattern. Biotin and Collagen are nutrients and are good ideas. There often packaged with Calcium and Riboflavin and Niacin.

Love, Scott
