Paul Killiam opens his series on "the first quarter century of the movies" with the cinema of attractions and a brief section of "newsreel footage" of Fifth Avenue in New York City. It is mostly a compilation reel from the "Killiam Collection", perhaps selected or presented seemingly at random. The film abruptly cuts to a one reel example of the cinema of narrative integration from D.W. Griffith at Biograph.
Killiam televised silent films from the library of the Museum of Modern Art with his narration to suit then modern audiences while hosting The Paul Killiam Show, among the films featured having been "A Daughter of the Wilderness" (Edison Company, 1913) starring actresses Mary Fuller and Elsie MacLeod. The "Movie Museum" series aired in 1954.

Scott Lord Danish Silent Film: The Golden Clown (Kloven, A.W. Sandberg 1...

by Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Swedish Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film

A. W. Sandberg had cowritten his first filming of "The Clown", which had starred actor Valdimar Psilander, in 1917 with Laurids Skards. "The Golden Clown", cowritten by A.W. Sandberg with Poal Knudsen, starring Gosta Eckman and Karina Bell, was one of two remakes of films that had been originally shot in 1917 that Sandberg had filmed that year, his having also during 1926 having directed Gunnar Tolnaes and Karina Bell in the film "Oriental Love/The Favorite Wife of the Maharadjah" (Maharajahens Yndlingshustru). The Danish Film Museum viewed both films as "tame" in years that brought "decline" for A.W. Sanberg and "catastrophe" for Nordisk, causing the company to liquidate during 1928-1929. Forsyth Hardy, in his volume Scandinavian Film chronicles that after the war, the Danish film industry, by then principally Nordisk Film, had greatly lost popularity through competetion with the better equipped United States and Sweden, which may have been a factor in the decision to refilm earlier successes.
During 1925, A.W. Sandberg had directed the historical drama "Mists of the Past" (Fra Piazza del Popolo) written by Sam Ask and Poul Knudsen, based on novel by Vilhelm Bergsoe, an admirable choice considering the place Denmark held inthe international film market compared to the United States and considering the historical dramas that had built the Golden Age of Swedish Silent Film were quickly headed for desuetude. Thw film starred actor Olaf Fonse.
