A visit from Dr. Scott Sunquist, usually I greet Dr. Elaine Phillips between services

by Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film
Dr. Sunquist smiled enthusiaticly when I showed him my copy of his student writing in the student magazine "Debarim" published by Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, of which he is now President. I asked him if there was always a methodology to Apologetics, to which he seemed to nod in the affirmative. His paper was on Arnobius of Sicca, who wrote "Against the Nations"., the methodology of Apologetics, and apparently the Astarte-Venus cult.

Our apartment on location: trailer for Hollywood film, but will it?

by noreply@blogger.com (Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film)
Cambridge, Massachusetts Our apartment and his sunglasses were at first thought to be are in the same shot, but this is only the trailer. During the on location shooting we did not see Depp, but did see the film crews at work.



The interior monologue of a method actor. I looked at the trailer again, and I don't know that the location shot used in the particular scene is the one that was filmed where we are. It is very much like the shot, but the building used in this instance seems different. It was part of location filming a could still be in the final version of the film.

FIVE ALL NIGHT-Truly Great Entertainment



When I had my Super Eight projector, the Universal films were split into two channels. The Basil Rathbone Nigel Bruce, Warner Oland and Peter Lorre detective films were on an independent channel and the Universal Horror films were on one of the three network stations.

This intro to the film I remember and would have always wanted to have my own slot. Please enjoy this splice (ie. clip) of"my first professor", whose residence for his artistry was as host of classic horror film on the "late night double feature picture show" in Boston.

The library, built in 1809, is beautiful.
These two botttom photographs in particular were taken from behnd Donna's desk from where she checks in books with a scanner and removes the checkout cards. I discussed theology with a new minister today explaining to him that he was the eighth minster I have had a rapport with and that my questions are more precise after a decade. There have been ten or eleven I have known since attending. Scott Lord

Scott Lord Silent Film: Linda Arvidson in The Adventures of Dollie (D.W....

by noreply@blogger.com (Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film)
scottlordpoet shared this story from Scott Lord on Silent Film Hollywood, Lost Silent Film, Swedish Silent Film, Danish Silent Film.

Actress Linda Ardvison, writing in the periodcial Film Fun during 1916, includes the "now historic" film "The Advntures of Dollie" (one reel) directed by D.W Griffith for the Biograph Film Company in 1908. Arvidson wrote under the name Mrs. D.W. Griffith. In one installment she reminisces about travelling to film exterior scenes, claiming they hadn't automobiles yet and visited locations by train or by boat. In a later installment she dicusses her salary for the film, "How much money I made! Twenty eight dollars in two weeks, enough for a whole spring outfit." What is more enjoyable is the autobiography of Mrs. D.W. Griffith, When Movies Were Young, published in 1925. Much of the material from the Film Fun periodical is repeated, worded similarly, as she gives an account of D.W. Griffith the actor being offered a provisional chance to direct his first film, "The Adventures of Dollie", given that he could return to acting if necessary. Mrs. D.W. Griffith exlains Griffith having been accepted as a director for Biograph, "For one year now, those movies so covered with slime and so degraded would have to come first to come first in his thoughts and affections....agonizing days when he would have given his life to be able to chuck the job." She includes not only the studio on East Fourteenth Street but the theaters on Third and Ninth Avenues as places into which one would not be seen going.
Author Roger Manvell, in his sixty page introduction to the anthology "Experiment in the Film" credits "The Adventures of Dollie" as the first film in which D.W. Griffith had used the flashback.
Peter Cowie, in his volume Eighty Years of Cinema, notes that it was in 1908, in the film "For Love of Gold", that D.W. Griffith had first used the close up shot in film.
