SUMMARY:Cuban Silent Cinema at UCLA!
DESCRIPTION:Live musical accompaniment by Cliff Retallick! \nRestored by UCLA Film & Television Archive and Cinemateca de Cuba \nLa Virgen de la Caridad  (Cuba\, 1930)\nYeyo\, a young peasant is in love with Trina\, the daughter of a local landowner\, but her father\, Don Pedro del Valle\, objects to her marrying below her class. He has found a more suitable husband\, but Trina loves Yeyo. Seemingly\, only the “Virgin of Charity” can intervene. This Cuban silent film was highly praised and extremely popular at the time of its release\, because of its socially critical view of the plight of peasants\, and its religious themes. Its sophisticated style in composition and montage is evident\, especially the horse racing sequence. A veteran of Hollywood\, director Ramón Peón shot numerous features in Havana in the 1920s\, before going to Mexico to assist Antonio Moreno on Santa (1932)\, and then enjoying a long career in Mexico. Calling Peón the Cuban Griffith\, world-renowned cinematographer Néstor Almendros said of the director\, “he was a visual artist and narrator of exceptional talent.” —Jan-Christopher Horak \nEl joven campesino Yeyo está enamorado de Trina\, la hija del terrateniente don Pedro del Valle\, que se opone a que su hija se case por debajo de su posición. Él le ha buscado un marido que considera más adecuado\, pero Trina ama a Yeyo. Sólo la Virgen de la Caridad puede ayudarlos. Esta película muda cubana fue alabada por crítica y público cuando se estrenó debido a su visión crítica de la situación de los campesinos y su temática religiosa. Destaca por sus elaborados encuadres y su sofisticado montaje\, especialmente en la escena de la carrera de caballos. El director\, Ramón Peón\, era un veterano de Hollywood que había rodado numerosas películas en La Habana durante los años 20\, antes de ir a México para ayudar a Antonio Moreno con la película Santa (1932). En México disfrutó de una larga carrera. El reputado director de fotografía Néstor Almendros definió a Peón como “el Griffith cubano”\, y afirmó que “era un artista visual y un narrador de excepcional talento”. (trans. Roberto Green) \n35mm\, b/w\, silent\, 72 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. Production: B.P.P. Pictures. Director: Ramón Peón. Screenwriter: Enrique Agüero Hidalgo. Cinematographer: Ricardo Delgado. Cast: Julio Gallo\, Diana Marde\, Matilde Maun\, Sergio Miro\, Francisco Muñoz.

SUMMARY:LON CHANEY: OUTSIDE THE LAW - OCTOBER 14th
DESCRIPTION:As part of the RETROFORMAT SERIES at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood I will be performing live accompaniment for this silent gem!\n\nFrom the good folks at RETROFORMAT:\nSaturday\, October 14\, 2017\, Lon Chaney returns to Retroformat in Tod Browning’s Outside the Law (1920)\, with live accompaniment by Cliff Retallick.\n\n\n\nIn his second collaboration with director Tod Browning\, Chaney plays two contrasting roles: frighteningly malevolent gangster Black Mike Sylva\, and kind-hearted student of philosophy Ah Wing. This film was important in cementing Chaney’s working relationship with Browning\, as well as contributing to the public’s perception of Chaney as The Man of a Thousand Faces.

SUMMARY:THE VOYAGER INSTITUTE: AN INTERVIEW ABOUT SILENT FILM SCORING AND MUCH MORE! 9/30
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to be a participant in the first of what I am certain will be many events put on by the amazing new VOYAGER INSTITUTE here in Los Angeles. Institute founder\, Bret Berg and I are going to discuss the process of scoring silent films live. I will be playing along to a few clips of silent film to demonstrate what we’re talking about! I am really thrilled at the prospect of finally having a forum to talk about this fascinating phenomena which has been such a big part of my musical life for the past ten years. DON’T MISS IT! And I’m sure you’ll see some old friends there like BUSTER KEATON and DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS! And it’s free if you RSVP. \nDOORS: approx. 4:30pm\, SHOW: 5pm. \nFrom The Voyager Institute’s press release\, written by Bret Berg: \nTHE VOYAGER INSTITUTE:\na film and music lecture series that invigorates and exhilarates. \nRSVP for our free-admission show on 9/30! \nMovies are magic. The alchemy they weave is undeniable. When presented right\, even silent films from 100 years ago resonate with audiences — especially those treated to live melodies that enhance and deepen the experience. \nI’ve been fortunate to know Cliff Retallick: the multi-instrumentalist with many years as the Silent Movie Theater’s accompanist under his belt. I’ve watched him sharpen his craft live countless times\, as he executes feature-film-length stretches of music with ease. \nCliff’s not only a walking encyclopedia of romantic and stirring melodies from the silent era — but his expressive style draws the viewer in with playful gestures and consummate showmanship. Come find out straight from the source how a musician can replicate the 1920s style of performance\, improvisation and innovation! \nOur 9/30 afternoon lineup:\nGene Wilder & Gilda Radner: A Love Story (presented by Bret Berg)\n“Voyage of the Space Dangler” (Slamdance 2017 competition short\, dir. Evan Mann)\nHow To Score A Silent Film (presented by Cliff Retallick) \nEveryone wants to “go back to school” — but seriously\, no one can afford it. Voyager’s A/V-dense presentations at Resident are the next best thing — ’cause they’re free-admission!

SUMMARY:VARIETE
DESCRIPTION:Featuring live accompaniment by Cliff Retallick \nAdapted from a 1921 novel by Felix Hollaender\, Variete is a gem extracted from the golden age of twenties German silent film. The film follows a trapeze artist – accompanied by “unleashed” acrobatic camera work to match. Presented in a new DCP restoration! \n“This is a production which not only shows the way in which a story should be unfurled\, but impresses one with the magic of the camera in picturing effects\, such as the torrent of thoughts rushing through a maddened mind\, and the views of the audience from the eyes of a hurtling trapeze performer.” – Mordaunt Hall\, The New York Times \nDir. Ewald André Dupont\, 1925\, DCP\, 95 min.

SUMMARY:Silent Films at La Crescenta's Two Strike Park!
DESCRIPTION:I will be performing lives scores to HAND CRANKED silent films on Saturday\, August 5th in La Crescenta\, CA. Mr. Joe Rinaudo\, projectionist and film archivist extraordinaire will be projecting his own restored prints! You will not want to miss this! The fun begins after sunset and the films include:\n\nThe Clown’s Little Brother  — a silent cartoon!\nGidd’ap — Billy Bevan comedy\nThe Blacksmith  —  BUSTER KEATON comedy!\nThe Rat’s Knuckles  —  Charlie Chase comedy\nThe Grocery Clerk  — Larry Semon comedy\nWrong Again  —  LAUREL and HARDY!\n\nBelow is an article published in the Crescenta Valley Weekly:\n\n\nProjectionist Joe Renaudo will bring his vintage equipment to Two Strike Park to share films from the past. \nBy Joanna KIM\, intern \nWith the digitalization of movies and videos in the modern age\, silent films of the 1920s and ’30s are often forgotten. Joe Rinaudo\, a local silent cinema historian and founder of Silent Cinema Society\, is on a mission to preserve these early films by putting on shows for children and adults in parks and museums. \nRinaudo works with the Library of Congress and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to present early films to younger generations. He restored a 1909 Powers’ 35mm motion picture machine hand-crank and runs the movies as they were over 100 years ago. \nBack when motion pictures were not readily available\, projectionists traveled to small towns with hand-crank projectors and pianos and provided the townsfolk with entertainment. Rinaudo hopes to resurrect these old projectors and allow children to enjoy these once-adored silent films. \n“The kids today have always viewed things on video or on a disk … but with events like this\, they’re able to see something that their great-grandparents were seeing in the 1920s in their teens\,” Rinaudo. \nOn Aug. 5\, Rinaudo and the Historical Society of Crescenta Valley are hosting a silent movie night at Two Strike Park beginning around 8 p.m. \n“We bring our huge screen\, like you would have done back in the ’20s\, and have live pianist Cliff Rettalick\,” Rinaudo said. “We set the projector up\, and we do a show just like you would have a hundred years ago.” \nThe idea of hosting a silent movie in the park was the brainchild of Joanna Linckhorst and Mike Lawler\, both members of the Historical Society of Crescenta Valley. \n“[The HSCV] had done a movie night in Two Strike Park years ago celebrating [actor Dennis Morgan]\, who founded the park\,” Linckhorst said. \nJoe Renaudo is known by the Historical Society. \n“We have a real treasure in our community in Joe Renaudo\,” said Lawler. “Joe is a living history.” \nThe Historical Society tries to bring a sense of amazement that keeps audiences coming back for more\, like in those early days of Hollywood. \n“In the Crescenta Valley\, we’re close to Hollywood. This silent movie presentation shows us how Hollywood was born\,” Lawler said. “Many of these silent movies were shot nearby. It’s fun to watch the backgrounds and try to guess where they were filmed.” \nAttendance to the movies is free. Attendees should bring a chair or blanket to sit on. There will\, of course\, be popcorn and bake sale items available for a donation. \nTwo Strike Park is located at 5107 Rosemont Ave. in La Crescenta. \n“Everyone seems to like [the event]. We get them showing up earlier for good seats and more people [attend] each time\,” Linkchorst said. \nThe show is kid-friendly\, the admission is free\, and baked goods and popcorns will be on sale. So bring your picnic blankets and folding chairs to Two Strike Park and travel back in time to the 1920s with Joe Rinaudo. \nThe movie titles have yet to be announced. \nThe HSCV survives on donations. Anyone who would like to help can do so by donating at the event or at www.cvhistory.org \n\nTravel Back in Time with Silent Movie Night at Two Strike Park

SUMMARY:The Silent Treatment - The Salvation Hunters
DESCRIPTION:Featuring live accompaniment by Cliff Retallick \nJosef von Sternberg’s first film – shot for less than $4\,800 on location in San Pedro\, Chinatown and the San Fernando Valley – was possibly Hollywood’s first “independent” production. The gritty realism of its locations\, the lack of artifice in its story and the lower depths of its characters shocked audiences and the industry alike. The film remains thoroughly modern. Sternberg’s images thrive on composition and stasis. His ending resolves nothing and yet everything is different. The Salvation Hunters made a star not only of Sternberg\, but also of Georgia Hale\, who would play opposite Chaplin in The Gold Rush (1925).

SUMMARY:UCLA Festival of Preservation
DESCRIPTION:Restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive with funding provided by New York Women in Film & Television’s Women’s Film Preservation Trust and The Film Foundation \nTramp Strategy  (1911) \nA mischievous vagabond infiltrates a bourgeois household in this newly discovered one-reel comedy by the pioneering female director Alice Guy. \n35mm\, tinted\, silent with Dutch intertitles\, approx. 12 min.  Director: Alice Guy.  Production/Distribution: Solax Film Company. \nRestored from a 35mm nitrate tinted print in association with the EYE Filmmuseum\, Netherlands and Be Natural Productions.  Laboratory services by Technicolor Restoration Services\, The Stanford Theatre Film Laboratory\, Fotokem.  Special thanks to: Eastman Kodak.\n \nRestored by UCLA Film & Television Archive with funding provided by David Stenn \nPeggy\, Behave!  (1922) \n\nBaby Peggy\, one of the biggest child stars in movie history\, does not disappoint in this charming silent comedy\, even though it only exists in fragmentary form. \n35mm\, b/w\, silent\, approx. 8 minutes.  Director: Arvid E. Gillstrom.  Production: Century Comedies.  Distribution: Universal Pictures Corporation.  Screenwriter: Arvid E. Gillstrom.  Cast: Baby Peggy. \nRestored in cooperation with Cinémathèque Suisse from a foreign version nitrate print.  Laboratory services by YCM Laboratories\, Title House Digital.\n \nPreservation funded by The Packard Humanities Institute\, Barbara Roisman Cooper and Martin M. Cooper \nGood References  (1920) \n\nWhile often overlooked by the lens of contemporary cinema\, Constance Talmadge was one of the silent era’s most popular and brightest comedic stars\, making nearly 50 feature films before retiring as an independently wealthy woman in 1929.  Although big sister Norma became famous playing serious dramatic roles\, “Connie” (as her friends called her) realized that her carefree\, fun-loving personality was a better fit for comedy\, and correspondingly crafted a successful career with a series of breezy\, effervescent confections that audiences ate up at the box office.  She became\, as F. Scott Fitzgerald once called her\, “the epitome of young sophistication—the deft princess of lingerie and love…the flapper de luxe.” \nTalmadge initially found fame playing the Mountain Girl in D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance (1916)\, and subsequently set up her own production company (overseen by brother-in-law Joseph M. Schenck) in order to create her own feature films.  Free to choose the scripts she wanted to make\, she expressed the philosophy of her filmmaking thusly: “I want comedies of manners\, comedies that are funny because they delight one’s sense of what is ridiculously human in the way of little everyday commonplace foibles and frailties—subtle comedies\, not comedies of the slapstick variety.” \nGood References was her sixth and final release of 1920\, with a plot revolving around a down-on-her-luck woman named Mary (played by Talmadge) whose lack of references makes it impossible for her to gain employment.  When a friend falls ill\, Mary impersonates her in order to take a job as secretary to an elderly socialite.  Things immediately start going downhill when she is tasked to introduce a ne’er-do-well nephew to high society—but ends up bailing him out of a string of scandals instead. \nLong considered a lost film\, an original nitrate print of Good References surfaced at the Národní Filmový Archiv in Prague\, which was provided to UCLA for this restoration.  The Czech intertitles have been translated back into English and recreated in the style of the original production.  —Steven K. Hill \n35mm\, tinted\, silent\, approx. 60 min.  Director: R. William Neill.  Production: Associated First National Pictures\, Inc.  Distribution: A First National Attraction.  Presented by: Joseph M. Schenck.  From the novel by E.J. Rath.  Scenario: Dorothy Farnum.  Cinematography: Oliver Marsh.  Titles: Burns Mantle.  Cast: Constance Talmadge\, Vincent Coleman\, Ned Sparks\, Nellie P. Spaulding\, Mona Liza. \nRestored from a 35mm nitrate print.  Laboratory services by The Stanford Theatre Film Laboratory\, Pacific Title & Art Studio.  Special thanks to: Národní Filmový Archiv\, Michal Bregant\, Vladimir Opewla\, Karel Zima\, Hugh Munro Neeley.\n \nRestored by UCLA Film & Television Archive with funding provided by The AFI/NEA Preservation Grants Program \nThe Poor Nut  (1927) \n\nIn combination with changes in social conventions and dress codes\, and inspired by best-selling novels about college life\, such as Flaming Youth (1923) and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise (1920)\, Americans had become fascinated with youth culture by the mid-1920s.  Hollywood and the subject of college life were tailor-made for an audience so obsessed with youth\, beauty and sex.  The success of Colleen Moore’s now lost film\, Flaming Youth (1923)\, Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman (1925)\, and Buster Keaton’s College (1927) provided a foundation for the “the college life” genre. \nA common scenario finds the bespectacled\, shy bookworm with more talent for learning than athletics\, dreaming hopelessly of dating the campus beauty.  She\, of course\, is only interested in the big man on campus\, often also the school’s star quarterback.  The Poor Nut follows this pattern closely.  Jack Mulhall plays Jack\, a botany student in love with Julie Winters (Jane Winton)\, the beauty queen of the rival college.  He writes (but never sends) love letters addressed to her\, lying about his fraternity membership and athletic skills.  As a prank\, one of Jack’s letters is mailed to Julie\, who responds and wants to meet.  Knowing his dream girl will be looking for him when the two colleges compete in a track meet\, Jack has to find a way to measure up to her expectations—and fast! \nRejecting conventional double standards\, Julie seeks to indulge her own desires in meeting Jack\, a man she hopes may be even more attractive than her current boyfriend\, the star athlete of her college.  A former Ziegfeld girl\, Winton fits the part of Jazz Age coquette perfectly with her piercing eyes\, bee-stung lips\, and bobbed hair.  In a rare appearance in a silent film\, young Jean Arthur appears as a fellow botany student who admires Jack for his mind.  —Philip H. G. Ituarte \n35mm\, tinted\, silent\, approx. 70 min.  Director: Richard Wallace.  Production: First National Pictures\, Inc.\, Jess Smith Productions.  Distribution: First National Pictures\, Inc.  Presented by: Joseph M. Schenck.  Based on the play by: J. C. Nugent and Elliott Nugent.  Screenwriter: Paul Schofield.  Cinematography: David Kesson.  Cast: Jack Mulhall\, Charlie Murray\, Jean Arthur\, Jane Winton\, Glenn Tryon.   \nRestored from a 35mm nitrate print.

SUMMARY:The Silent Treatment: Feel My Pulse
DESCRIPTION:Archival print courtesy of the Library of Congress \nFeaturing live accompaniment by Cliff Retallick \nThis madcap tale of hypochondria and bootlegging is the work of the then up-and-coming director Gregory La Cava\, who was – naturally – a former cartoonist. When his employer tanked\, he started making features replete with comic strip style stories. This one stars Bebe Daniels as a wildly over-protected child – on the cusp of adulthood\, followed by a flock of nurses supplied at the request of her eccentric\, late father. But as her 21st birthday nears\, a cigar-chomping Texan uncle enters the picture and disrupts the germ-fearing charades. Our leading lady flees her home to a sanitarium she was set to inherit – but this place has its own band of loons – rum runners who have set up (a thinly veiled) bootlegging camp.  \nDir. Gregory La Cava\, 1928\, 35mm\, 63 min. \nThe feature will be preceded by Bumping into Broadway. \nDir. Hal Roach\, 1919\, 35mm\, 25 min.

DESCRIPTION:The Hollywood Foreign Press Association & Hollywood Heritage Present: Evening at the Barn – THEDA BARA – LOST CLEOPATRA\nPlease join us on Wednesday\, February 8\, 2017 for a special celebration of the silent 1917 epic “CLEOPATRA”  starring Theda Bara. The movie was truly a masterpiece\, unfortunately this film along with virtually the entire Fox Film silent archive perished in a vault fire. \nOne hundred years since the initial release\, filmmaker Phillip Dye has created an epic reconstruction bringing  Theda Bara’s “CLEOPATRA” back to life! \nAfter years of research and collecting all of the on-set photography stills available. The film has been painstakingly pieced together again through the editing of these precious stills. These photographs capture the mind-blowing scale of this super production and they capture Theda’s electrifying performance and her trail-blazing Vamp character in an array of historically accurate scandalous costumes. \nWorking with the original script\, inter-title cards have been woven into the pictorial montage\, transporting the audience back to 1917. Live musical accompaniment featuring harp\, piano and strings help to make this silent film experience complete. \nA conversation with the filmmaker is scheduled to follow along with a presentation by special guest Joan Craig\, author of Theda Bara\, My Mentor. She will share stories of growing up with Theda\, her second mom \nTheda Bara memorabilia — vintage stills and posters will be on display. Plus\, we’ll be offering unusual items in our famous $1 raffle! \n*LIVE MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT – Pianist Cliff Retallick & Harpist Liza Wallace

SUMMARY:Silent Treatment: A Woman of the World
DESCRIPTION:A chic European countess visits her small-town American cousin and wreaks mayhem with her liberated continental habits\, like smoking cigarettes and seducing men of high ranking public office. Pola Negri is very good at imbuing small gestures with explicit suggestions\, and\, with eyelids perpetually at half-mast\, exudes an attractive combination of contempt and boredom. As a reflection of and probably a comment on Negri’s experience with the American public as an exoticized object of controversy\, A Woman of the World plays her opulent femme fatale typecast against puritanical Midwestern notions of feminine behavior\, her stigmatized romantic independence perhaps marked by the black skull tattoo on her forearm. At one point she hunts down the man who’s been slandering her name\, and whips it out of the not-completely-unwilling participant–literally\, with a bullwhip. \nDir Malcolm St. Clair\, 1925\, DCP restoration\, 70 min.

SUMMARY:OUTFEST: Different From The Others
DESCRIPTION:Different From The Others (German: Anders als die Andern) is a German film produced during the Weimar Republic. It was first released in 1919 and stars Conrad Veidt and Reinhold Schünzel. \nThe story for Anders als die Andern was co-written by Richard Oswald and Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld\,[1] who also had a small part in the film and partially funded the production through his Institute for Sexual Science\, with the aim of presenting the story as a polemic against the then-current laws under Germany’s Paragraph 175\, which made homosexuality a criminal offense. \nThe cinematography was by Max Fassbender\, who two years previously had worked on Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray\, one of the earliest cinematic treatments of Oscar Wilde‘s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Director Richard Oswald later became a director of more mainstream films\, as did his son Gerd. Veidt became a major film star the year after Anders was released\, in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. \nAnders als die Andern is one of the first sympathetic portrayals of homosexuals in the cinema.[1] The film’s basic plot was used again in the 1961 UK film\, Victim\,[1] starring Dirk Bogarde. Censorship laws enacted in reaction to films like Anders als die Andern eventually restricted viewing of this movie to doctors and medical researchers\, and prints of the film were among the many “decadent” works burned by the Nazis after they came to power in 1933. \nMore on Wikipedia

SUMMARY:The Silent Treatment: So This Is Paris
DESCRIPTION:35mm print preserved by the Library of Congress \nFeaturing live accompaniment by Cliff Retallick! \nA glittering social satire staged safely abroad\, So This Is Paris passes off the routine infidelities of Jazz Age blue-bloods as “the French way.” Teasing the audience with urbane good humor—and featuring a nigh-surrealist montage of an “artist’s ball” (read: nightclub) that superimposes throngs of dancing legs and arms into a proto-psychedelic rendering of a really good champagne high—this silent doesn’t shy away from wanton hedonism. Lubitsch is a master of glamour and subtlety\, with Wilde’s edged wit\, and the ability to stack a dozen ironies on top of one another in five seconds flat. Lurid details are suggested by the simple presence of a man’s cane in the wrong woman’s home\, or\, not so subtly\, in a long string of vulgar insults (to a police officer) left conspicuously missing from the intertitles. \nDir. Ernst Lubitsch\, 1926\, 35mm\, 80 min. \nWatch the Cinefamily original trailer! \nhttps://vimeo.com/170327332

SUMMARY:ART DIRECTORS GUILD FILM SOCIETY SERIES 2016: THE BELOVED ROGUE
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by the Art Directors Guild Film Society \nWilliam Cameron Menzies was likely the most celebrated art director in silent motion pictures for his work on such extraordinary films as THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (1924). He won the first Oscar for Art Direction for THE DOVE (1927)\, and in 1936 directed the landmark sci-fi epic THINGS TO COME. In 1939 he took a step forward in filmic visualization so profound that an entirely new term had to be coined: production designer. For previsualizing and supervising the entire look of GONE WITH THE WIND\, Menzies received the first Academy Award for Production Design. \nWith live musical accompaniment by Cliff Retallick. Discussion following with James Curtis\, author of William Cameron Menzies: The Shape of Films to Come\, who will sign his book in the lobby at 5:00 PM. Program moderated by production designer John Muto.

SUMMARY:The Silent Treatment: Sally of the Sawdust - Starring W.C. Fields
DESCRIPTION:A rare comedy from the typically austere D.W. Griffith\, Sally of the Sawdust is a delightful gem and the veritable kick off of W.C. Fields’s unmatched career. Based on the 1923 stage musical Poppy\, Sally is rife with what we now know as trademark Fields — bumbling idiocy\, juggling\, dog-kicking — all in the midst of circus antics galore. \nFields plays Prof. Eustace\, a lovably notorious juggler who becomes the unlikely guardian of Sally after her mother (rejected by her affluent parents for marrying a lowly circus performer) dies in an accident. Eustace raises Sally in the circus and passes on all of his survival tricks\, until one day their work leads them to the same town where Sally’s snooty grandparents live. \nPlot summary from Wikipedia : \nBecause she married a circus performer\, Judge Foster (Erville Alderson) casts out his only daughter. Just before her death a few years later\, she leaves her little girl Sally (Carol Dempster) in the care of her friend McGargle (W.C. Fields)\, a good-natured crook\, juggler and fakir. Sally grows up in this atmosphere and is unaware of her parentage. McGargle\, realizing his responsibility to the child\, gets a job with a carnival company playing at Great Meadows\, where the Fosters live. A real estate boom has made them wealthy. Sally is a hit with her dancing. Peyton (Alfred Lunt)\, the son of Judge Foster’s friend\, falls in love with Sally. To save him\, the Judge arranges to have McGargle and Sally arrested. McGargle escapes\, but Sally is hunted down and brought back. McGargle\, hearing of Sally’s plight\, steals a Flivver\, and after many delays\, reaches the courtroom and presents proof of Sally’s parentage. The Judge dismisses the case and his wife takes Sally in her arms\, but Peyton’s claim is stronger and she agrees to become his wife. McGargle is persuaded to remain and is found an outlet for his peculiar talents in selling real estate.

SUMMARY:The Silent Treatment: The Patsy
DESCRIPTION:  \nFeat. Live Accompaniment from Cliff Retallick! \nThe first of three King Vidor films featuring Marion Davies\, The Patsy is an energetic and frothy comedy\, charmingly driven by its screwball leading lady. Vidor—one of the great filmmakers of the 1920s—made the film at the insistence of William Randolph Hearst\, newspaper man and media mogul\, who confidently cooked up the idea for this hit. Davies\, previously known for drama\, shines as something of a proto-teenager in an auspicious start to her collaborations with Vidor\, alongside Marie Dressler (as her overbearing mother) and Dell Henderson as her father. Don’t miss this sharp director-actress collaboration; in Marion’s words\, “a good motion picture\, according to Mr. Vidor\, should not be an imitation of the stage\, which is inevitably an interpretation of life. It should be\, on the contrary\, a copy of life\, and the director a sort of reporter who transcribes on celluloid…” \nDir. King Vidor\, 1928\, 35mm\, 78 min. \n– See more at: http://www.cinefamily.org/films/the-silent-treatment/#the-silent-treatment-the-patsy
