Scott Lord Silent Film: Samson and Delilah (Edward J. Collins, 1922)

It seems odd that the periodical The Film Review and Moving Picture News during 1922 included "Samson and Delilah" in a series of "one reel pictures based on dramatic incidents in well known opera", a publicity still from the film being the only still featured in its article titled "Tense Moments From Opera Filmed", in which it hailed it to be the best of the "unduly hurried" productions from either Gaumont or Masters studios, or both. The magazine printed the opinion that "the artificiality of such a performance is more noticeable perhaps in the screen version of a stage success owing to the character of the dress, the make up of the performers and the background in which they work."
Director Edwin J Collins that year also directed a screen version of "Don Juan" included in the "Tense Moments in Opera" series starring actresses Lillian Douglas, Pauline Peters and Kathleen Vaughn.

Scott Lord Scandinavian Silent Film: The Gardner (Tradgardsmastanen, Vic...

by Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film
Banned in Sweden during 1912, "The Gardner", written by Mauritz Stiller and directed by Victor Sjostrom was thought to be lost untill a surviving copy was found sixty eight years later in the Library of Congress. The film stars Victor Sjostrom with Lilli Bech, Muaritz Stiller, Gosta Ekman and John Ekman. It was the directorial debut of Victor Sjostrom, unscreened during his lifetime. Actress Karin Alexandersson who appears in the film that year also appeared in the film "Froken Julie", directed by Anna Hofmann-Uddgren..
Was the film Scandinavian sensationalism made in response to Asta Neilsen starring in the film "The Abyss"? The film did successfully premiere in Denmark and Norway, during 1912 and 1913 respectively. (To modern auiences the film's theme of incest/seduction is depicted before both the Suffragete movement for women's voting rights and before much of Frued's writing on the Electra Complex- there remains an ostensible theme of Seduction, or perhaps an element of exploitation in the film.) Marina Dahlquist, in her article "The Best-Known Woman in the World", chronicles, "Charles Magnusson published the booklet "Nagra om Biografcensuren (A few remarks on film censorship) in the name of Svenska Bio regarding its appeal of the ban against three films, among them "Tradgardsmastaren/Varldensgrymhet" (The Broken Springrose/The Gardner [1912]). Even though the importance of censorship was acknowledged by Magnusson and others, the over zealous ambition to protect even an adult audience met with irony."

Also that year Victor Sjostrom directed the film "A Ruined Life" (Ett hemligt giftermal) co-scipted with Charles Magnusson and starring Hilda Bjorgstrom, Einar Froberg, Anna Norrie, and Greta Almroth in the first film in which she was to appear.
Author Peter Cowie, in his volume Swedish Cinema, Ingeborg Holm to Fanny Alexander notes the numerous location shots employed to showcase Victor Sjostrom's future wife, Lilli Beck during the film. Peter Cowie quickly references that Lilli Bech and Victor Sjostrom were formerly married between 1914-1916. The actress starred with Victor Sjostrom onscreen under the direction of Mauritz Stiller the following year, during 1913 with a script written by Stiller and photographed by Julius Jaenzon with "Vampyren", a film presently presumed to be lost, with no existing surviving copies. That year Victor Sjostrom and Lilli Bech were also paired onscreen by Mauritz Stiller in the film "Barnet", with Einar Froberg and Anna Norrie, photographed again by Julius Jaenzon. The film is also presumed lost with no existing surviving copies.

Actor John Eckman, who appeared on screen in a score of films between 1912 and 1950 before his appearing with Victor Sjostrom in the Ingmar Bergman film "Till Joy" (Till gladje,1950), directed only one film, it also being the first film in which he was to appear. Before having appeared during 1912 in the film "Tradgardsmasteren", under the direction of Victor Sjostrom and during 1912 in the film "De Svarta Maskerna" under the direction of Mauritz Stiller, Ekman directed the film "The Shepherd Girl" (Saterjantan,1912), starring actress Greta Almroth, Carlo Weith and Stina Berg in her first onscreen appearance, the film having had been photographed by Hugo Edlund for Svenska Biographteatern. Victor Sjostrom would direct John Ekman, Lilli Bech and himself from his own script during 1914, adding the actress Greta Almroth in the film "Daughter of the High Mountain" (Hogfallets dotter), photographed by Julius Jaenzon. The film is presumed to be lost, presently there being no surviving existing copies.
Apparently the film "Den Svarte Doktorn" filmed for Stora Biografteatern by Frans Lundberg is not only a lost film, with no surviving copies exusting, but was also banned at the time of production by Swedish Censorship. The film starred actress Olivia Norrie, Einar Zangenberg, and Holger-Madsen. "Anfortrodda medel", also made by Frans Lundberg in 1911 is also presumed to be a lost film with no surviving copies existing and was also banned by Swedish censorship. The film starred actresses Phillipa Fredricksen and Agnes Nyrup Christensen.
Interestingly enough, Swedish Silent Film cinematographer camerman Julius Jaenzon brought his equipment aboard the S.S. Lusitania during 1912 to make the film "Tva Svenska Emigranters Afventyr i Amerika", starring actresses Lisa Holm and Lilly Jacobsson under the direction of Eric Malmberg. It might be worth noting before continuing to the dynamic between the four horsemen of Swedish Silent Film, Victor Sjostrom, Mauritz Stiller, Julius Jaenson and Charles Magnusson, that another director was there at Svenska Biografteatern during 1912, director Eric Malmberg. Seemingly overlooked, Malmberg directed six films for Svenska Biografteatern during 1912, including films presumed to be lost with no surving copies photographed by Julius Jaenzon and starring actress Lilly Jacobsson, among them "Det Grona Halsbandet", "Stolen Happiness" (Oceanbreakers, Branniger eller Stulen lycka), "Agaton and Fina", "Kolingens Galoscher", in which Jacobsson starred with Erika Tornberg, and "Samhallets Drom", in which Jacobsson starred with actresses Agda Helin,Tollie Zellman and Lisa Holm in her first on screen appearance in film. It is only conjecture as to whether Malmberg at Svenska Bio would have belonged to the Golden Age of Swedish Silent Film as it had not properly begun, even were the lost films to be found. After leaving Svenska Bio, Eric Malmberg went to Hasselblad to apeear on screen as an actor under the direction of Georg af Klercker.
Peter Cowie, in his golume Swedish Cinema, documents that after having moved to Lidingo, near Stockholm, Charles Magnusson produced a total of twenty five films during the year of 1912, only nine of which were directed by either Mauritz Stiller or Victor Sjostrom. Taken into account that George af Klercker directed only four that year, one is hard pressed to complete the filmography without the six directed by Eric Malmberg, author Peter Cowie alluding to six films that seem to be missing, or on the peripheral, with marginal importance. If looking for orphaned film, Julius Jaenson photographed the lost film "Leban Oetterkvist is training fot the Olympics", and Jaenzon or Magnusson might be credited as director, while a lost film directed by Algot Sandberg, "Uncle Johannes Arrival in Stockholm" was also filmed by Julius Jaenson during 1912.
It is clear that the enivitable crash between the theater of August Strindberg and the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Frued would manifest itself in a similarity of themes, here specifically the Electra Complex and the repression of the Id soon to be summarized and synthesized in Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, although it is difficult to find a historiography of the Golden Age of Swedish Silent Film where man's relation to the elements and landscape is reviewed as symbolic of sublimation of the sexual instinct rather than a metaphysical symbolism of ontological location- nevertheless the era brought contemporaries of Selma Lagerlof that, within modernity, were proponents of the suffragete movement in Swedish Literature, notably Elin Wagner, Anna Lenah Maria Elgstrom and Ellen Key. In Stockholm bookstores, during 1910, Elin Wagner published the novel Penswoman (Pennskattet) and during 1913, Maria Sandel published the novel The Vortex (Virveln).
