It sprawled across the living room floor- over five feet diagnally from a shelf with three drawers, past a night table and a book shelf. It climbed over a plastic storage bin.

While heralding "Ben Hur" as "the biggest movie spectacle since Intolerance", Classics of the Silent Screen, published by author Joe Franlkin in 1959 notes that its two large scale production scenes take place during the first half of the film, too early in the narrative in regard to audience interest and reception, "Part two not only moved slowly but had no spectacular action highlights." The actual chatiot race takes place after an hour and a half of film, but there is in fact another hour left to the complete film. Classics of the Silent Screen claimed the film trailed off to follow an incidental character with leprosy.
Starring in the film with Romon Navarro were actresses Kathleen Kay, Betty Bronson, Myrna Loy and Colleen Moore.

It seems like everything has been put back to where it was- a new minister introduced herself and I spoke with our newly installed Pastor, but there are certainly some familiar faces this week.

I honestly had to dust the television after coming home from church, but please look and the previous entry to see how its grown- it found the little "love" pillow Donna's grandmother had given her - after sprawling across the floor, over a plastic storage bin and up the side of the tv stand for over five feet, most likely seven; it has sixty five leaves across for two of its ten "vines", most likely one hundread leaves, more likely over one hundread and ten or one hundread and twenty.
This time our plant found the little “love” pillow.

I took the time in the church library while Donna was reshelving books to look for the Articles of Faith from when the church was established. Between services, I said "hello" to Mark,the present minister, who was busy and remarked that we still use the Articles of Faith today, "I know that well." The first minister of the Park Street Church,Boston was Edward Griffin, also the first Phi Beta Kappa student at Yale, and apparently Donna was Phi Beta before I met her. His particular theme was preaching against something referred to as the New Divinity. I was surfing today and found that we are listed by the National Historical Park Service along with our adjacent Granary Burial Ground. The president at the time was James Madison. Below is a historical perspective.

From a poster made during 1971, this may in fact be The Old North Church, the tallest building in America before 1809 when the Park Street Church was built, it then becoming the tallest. I belive both have clocks. I asked a member from M.I.T and he thought it was Park Street Church and it afforded me the chance to tell him that the Internet Archive hists all Dewey Decinal categories of out of print books by using keyword search, not just "Christianity", but also "Thermodynamics".
She refers to it as her "antique desk".
These are my photos from this morning when Donna was behind her desk.
photos: Scott Lord, I apologize for the lack of a telephoto lens.
Donna is at her library desk as the church organ plays upstairs- this is a poster of the church from 1971

Donna’s Birthday, Dinner near the Bunker Hill Monument, Charlestown Massachusetts
by Scott Lord on Silent Film, Swedish Silent Film, Danish Silent Film,
We were looking for a restaurant and the cab dispatch told us there was in fact one closer to our apartment than the one that had recently closed. For her birthday, she had a computer class, in which she was given a new computer, she lost twenty pounds and we celebrated by going to dinner when, after dinner, I looked up and noticed we were right near the Bunker Hill Monument, our having come from a different direction.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DONNA
and I look forward to our thirteenth anniversary this summer.
Living on the thirteenth floor, I can see the monument, the entire monument, clearly from our living room, The Boston skyline has almost changed dramaticlly while we've been together.
Evacuation Day in New York City is on November 25, 1783, and also marks the British departure. (Donna's father went to NYU) Happy St. Patrick's Day.
ps. I ordered fish chowder for myself but she was hungary and couldn't wait for dinner, so I gave her mine untill my seafood came later, which was half the fun of an enjoyable evening- I was glad she liked dinner after our skipping lunch during a busy weekend.

Donna is shelving books.
For anyone interested in Ben Franklin, his parents are buried at the church. The graveyard was here before the church structure, which was a granary that held gunpowder during the revolution. The expression "fire and brimstone" came from our church, it being where the colonists stored gunpowder during the AMerican Revolution.

I wanted to photograph the tulips I brought Donna during church- I had to run an errand and we are here during three church services- from outside looking into the church,but as you can tell, the reflection precludes it. The otherside of the building looks on to the adjacent churchyard with tulips on the graves of Ben Franklin's parents where I "reflect" every week (diligently) for those who have passed.
mother's day, I brought Donna tulips during the church service

Tommorow is our thirteenth Anniversary. I took Donna to lunch on Temple Street again to a restararaunt we go to once a month and decided to take a short cut across Boston Common and down Beacon Hill. Once a month I also aske her if she would like to visit the Old State House. Today, she passed the entrace to Massachusetts State House and asked if we could go inside. We've been to the Boston Antheneum, and there were marble statues inside the State House as well. She particularly like a statue of a nurse treating a wounded soldier (I have had a coronary bypass several years ago) and my favorite was of John Adams.
Happy Anniversay Donna and Thank You for a wondeful date this afternoon.
Happy Thirteenth Anniversary, Donna

Scott Lord Silent Film: Midnight Girl (Noy, 1925)
by Scott Lord on Silent Film, Swedish Silent Film, Danish Silent Film,
Bela Lugosi appeared with actress Lila Lee during 1924 before having been catapulted into fame in Tod Browning's sound film "Dracula". Director WIlfred Noy had begun directing short comedies in 1911, later directing actress Gladys Jennings in the full legnth mystery "The Face at the Window" during 1920.
The periodical Exhibitor's Trade Review described actress Lila Lee as "wistful" in the titular role. Moving Picture World explained that the Chadwick Pictures Corporation had originally titled the film "The Street Singer" from a scenario written by Garret Fort.
