Anita Loos coscripted the 1917 film "Reaching for the Moon" (five reels) with its director John Emerson. John Emerson also that year directed Douglas Fairbanks in the film "Down to Earth", which Fairbanks co-wrote with Emerson and Anita Loos. Douglas Fairbanks is paired in the both films with actress Eileen Percy. Doulgas Fairbanks appeared in several films during 1918, among those having been directed by Alan Dwan having been the lost five reel films "He Comes Up Smiling", with Marjorie Daw, scenarioized by Frances Marion, "Mr. Fix It" with "four talented and pretty leading ladies" (Motion Picture News) Marjorie Daw Catherine McDonald, Margaret Landis and Wanda Hawley, and "Bound in Morrocco" with Pauline Curley. Fairbanks also that year starred in the five reel films "Arizona" (Alan Parker) and "Heading South" (Arthur Rosen).
Like the Lost Silent Film "Knickerbocker Buckaroo", in which Douglas Fairbanks stars, the film "He Comes Up Smiling" does not exist, there being no surving copies at present, but its Exhibitor's Press Book does, offering a glimpse of what the film was like with extratextural duscourse from the first run of the film, explaing the theme of Lost Films, Found Magazines I try to connect films with on the internet. The Press Book read,"Douglas Fairbanks a Tramp in 'He Comes Up Smiling', his new photocomedy of The Road. Story filled with unusual action even for this Athletic Artcraft star is one of exceptional interest." The press book mentions Fairbanks driving an automobile down the side of a mountain with "Fairbanks Does Thrilling Feats, Dangerous Automobile Drive". Untill film detectives find a copy of Douglas Fairbanks directed by Alan Dwan during 1918 in "Bound in Morrocco" , to "Lost Films, Found Magazines" it also remains another film that doesn't exist and another Exhibitor's Press Book that does.

During 1916, director John Emerson coscripted the film "His Picture in the Papers" (five reels) with Anita Loos. Produced by the Fine Ats Film Company with Triangle Sudios, the film starred Douglas Fairbanks and Rene Boucicicault. Eric Von Stroheim appears on screen in the film.
The periodical Wid's Films reviewed the photoplay of the film, "The central idea for this story was a very good one. In conjunction with this idea we are given many titles which have been very well written and secured many good laughs....There was a thread of melodrama through part of the story which was all played very seriously."

One technique used to present narrative by D.W. Griffith, although the principle thematic action was two interior scenes connected by cutting on action, was to introduce the film with an exterior panning shot as the establishing shot. The film is concluded with a similar exterior shot which pans in the opposite direction to imply the story had reached an irrevocable conclusion.
Written and directed by D.W. Griffith for the Biograph Film Company the film stars Gladys Egan, Mary Pickford, Florence Lawrence and Kate Bruce. The film was lensed by G.W. Bitzer.
The periodical The Moving Picture World reviewed the film, "The heart dramas which have come from Biograph studio have been numerous but perhaps none has been stronger, nor has there been one which has made the profound impression which is made by this one. Ordinarily, the gloom which accompanies death seems needless in a picture play, not where a drama great moral truth as this one does, perhaps it should be accepted as indicating the right view of life rather than as amusement."

Motion Picture News during 1921 readily boasted that more than seven different types of "exploitations" were used to advertise the film "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" starring Rudolph Valentino. Motion Picture Directing, published in 1922, showed a director Rex Ingram using a white, square canvass reflector to exploit sunlight during the filming of exterior scenes.
Author Benjamin B Hampton, in his volume A History of Movies, discusses the rise of screenwriter June Mathis to producer with the film "The Fourhorseman of the Apocalypse" and her effort to "plan the details of camerawork before photography began. This process of planning had been shared by Tucker and a few other directors who called it 'shooting the story on paper before shooting it on film'. 'Shooting on paper'...requires highly trained technical knowledge, clear thinking, a power of visualization and a rounded conception of the picture before camerawork begins. Its advantages are low cost production."
The film was based on the novel writtenby Vincente Ibanez. Silent film Rudolph Valentino

With a photoplay by June Mathis, "Blood and Sand", directed in 1922 by Fred Niblo, showcased Rudolph Valentino with Lila Lee, Nita Naldi and Rose Rosanova. The nine reel film was photographed by cinematographer Alvin Wyckoff; Fred Niblo and photographer Alvin Wyckoff were teamed again the following year for a comedy starring Barbara La Marr and Enid Bennett titled "Strangers in the Night", a film which is presumed lost with no existing surviving copies.
Author Peter Cowie, in his volume EIghty Years of Cinema, described "Blood and Sand" as "Stagebound and tearjerking".

Please include the films beneath as though in a festival or matinee. Photoplay Magazine was still introducing Rudolph Valentino to American audiences during 1921 with a photocaption beneath a publicity still reading, "you may observe the young man whose illustration of the 'amo' conjugation has almost completely engaged the attention of the American sub-debs."

Toward the end of 1920, Wid's Daily titled its review of Douglas Fairbanks in "The Mark of Zorro" (eight reels) directed by Fred Niblo, with "Slow Starting But 'Doug' Gets This One Over Well". In regard to the film as a whole, it wrote, "Exceedingly entertaining romance with Doug doing a dual role and his usual acrobatics." Appearing in the film with Douglas Fairbanks is actress Margueritte Del La Motte.
Author Peter Cowie, in his volume Eighty Years of Cinema, described "The Mark of Zorro" as "a finely photographed swashbuckling romance".

Douglas Fairbanks coscripted the film "The Man In the Iron Mask" with Lotta Woods during 1929, adapted from the works "The Three Muskateers" and "After Twenty Years" by Dumas. Directed by Allan Dwan, it was one of the last silent films ever made and paired Fairbanks with actress Marguerite de la Motte and actresses Dorothy Revier and Vera Lewis.
Movie Makers, with its advertisements for Vitacolor and Kodacolor, was a magazine for amateur photographers during 1929 that offered advice to camera owners by reviewing first run feature films. It felt the shadows and lighting effects filmed by cinematographer Henry Sharp could be favorably reproduced by amateurs and "The Man in the Iron Mask", for its authentic costumes , could be instructive to amatuers.

Motion Picture Review reviewed “An American Aristocracy” (five reels)in 1916. “The exhibitor knows the value of Douglas Fairbanks...We sincerely believe that Mr. Fairbanks can put this picture over with any audience whatsoever. It mixes comedy and thrills superbly. However, in the matter of construction it is not up to the standard of the best of his former pictures. It starts off with such a bang and such a rattling selection of uproarious subtitles that it cannot keep up the pace and as a consequence the action slowly up for a while during the middle of the picture. In the end, however, the thrills start again and takes the picture through to a glorious finish.”

"American Aristocracy" was directed by Lloyd Ingraham and photographed by Victor Fleming. During 1916, LLyod Ingraham also directed the film "Stranded" with Bessie Love for the Triangle Film Corporation. The film is presumed to be lost, with no existing surviving copies.
During 1916 Douglas Fairbanks also appeared in the five reel film "The Matrimaniac" (Paul Powell) scripted by John Emerson and Anita Loos for the Triangle Film Corporation and costarring actress COnstance Talmadge, as well as several five reel films directed by Alan Dwan, among which were "Manhattan Madness", "The Habit of Happiness", "The Good Badman" costarring Bessie Love, and "Reggie Mixes In", costarring Bessie Love.
For those interested in the screenwriting behind the photo play, which for this film was penned by Anita Loos, below is a magazine short story version, or novelization, of the Douglas Fairbanks Film.
