    I’m incredibly grateful we have the technology to restore some silent films. It feels special to be able to have such easy access to films that have been lost for up to a century.

    I grew to love silent films thanks to a college course I took on them. In An interview with Mary Pickford in Kevin Brownlow’s “As the Parade Goes By...” She talks about why she dislikes this movie. She says she couldn’t stand Ernest Lubitsch. She discusses at length her experience working with him.

    When I lived in Oregon, there used to be Silent Movie Nights at a local community college. They had live piano accompaniment, and it was a really magical experience. I never missed a single show.

    I've found that silent films are amazingly beautiful, especially with interior design. They're magical and dreamlike.

    I've loved silent films from highschool, and I'm going to 70. Harold Lloyd came to my school (Hollywood Highschool) with a 16mm print of KID BROTHER. I saw it again a few weeks ago at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.

    As a child born way past the silent film era, I was very fortunate that my father took me as a small child to one of the sadly, few remaining) revival houses, where we'd spend each Saturday ensconced in the dark, with the beautiful images, and musical accompaniment.
    The irony is I'm in the entertainment business (and aside from our being my profession), my love is for films made anywhere from the silent era through to the mid 70's or so.
    One channel I highly recommend for 'steamers' is Film Stuck', which is made by as combination of TCM, Criterion, and now - I'm able to sit back - anywhere I have free time, and watch fabulous films (they have a terrific silent collection and I've been watching them for the past few weeks).
    This was a terrific, informative clip. Thanks, Mr Kehr, et al!

    Excellent work. Thank you, Dave Kehr, for sharing with us the story of this film's restoration. For me, watching a silent film demands more of my attention. That's not to say it's not worth the effort. But what makes so many film-watching experiences shine is when we watch them together. I hope the "shared experience" of watching films can be preserved, as well.

    I became entranced with silent film as a child in the 1960s when my dad collected 16mm films of the great comedians: Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd, Laurel and Hardy, the Keystone Kops, Mabel Normand, Fatty Arbuckle, even early W.C. Fields! He showed them on his 16mm projector and I was hooked. I started researching and reading anything I could find on the silent era and its stars (this meant a lot of trips to the public library as there was no internet!). I will always be grateful to my wonderful father, who has since passed on, for giving me the passion for silent and classic film!

    Thank you Mr. Kehr for your many eye opening comments about silent movies. It is a brand new world to me and I know there are many interesting things about the era if only I take time like you to pursue them. Highest respect goes out to you and the people that work with you to help us to understand our past as I think of silent movies as a form of history. Again, thank you for sharing the movie "Rosita" with all of us!

    Enjoyed this! Thanks so much for doing what you do & for this post! For me though, Antonio Moreno is my heart & such a neglected silent star. Why oh why can’t more of his films, that HAVE survived, make it onto DVDs for the general public??? For years on The Silent Film Group I celebrate him each Monday there on Facebook and call it my “Moreno Monday.” I’m almost 68 but when a young woman I was married to character actor Carlos Romero. His Mother was Malvina Polo who played the mad girl in Von Stroheim’s “Foolish Wives “ & also played Edna Purviance’s girl friend “Paulette” in Chaplin’s “A Woman of Paris.” HER Father was silent star Eddie Polo & Eddie was friends with Antonio. Knowing of him for so many years of my life while he seems so dreadfully ignored has always been a puzzle to me! Antonio’s story deserves recognition and his films which have survived should some how find a way to reach his fans. He was a very big star & the first Spanish star ever to grace the silver screen. Even before Covid, I did not have the funds or the constitution to globe trot to The Eye in the Netherlands or to Washington DC just to be able to view one of Antonio’s silents such as “The Spanish Dancer” or, “Beverly of Graustark” with Marion Davies! How I wish Antonio’s films which have been found could be marketed. Lots more I could share. Such as also, when a youngster, teen I was very good friends with the then young Bob Cushman who we lost too soon a decade or so ago. He loved Mary so. I was also a busy casual big band / combo singer in my prime in LA for 20 years & knew dear Buddy Rogers. Who doesn’t love Mary? But please, if you could share anything exciting regarding Antonio Moreno & his films, I would surely love hearing back from you! Thanks so much for listening.

    The thing I always appreciated about old contemporary movies is that everything in them is as up to date as possible. The art, appliances and interior design is always fascinating as being the best for the times.

    I really appreciate this video. Silent film is something to be treasured. The silent film I remember the most that had a big impact on me was Metropolis, especially after the lost footage was found in a 16mm print. I'd never seen such a sweeping epic with science fiction elements before, and it was fascinating from both a story and a historical aspect. You're right- they do require more concentration compared to sound films. But they are enjoyable in their own right. Lately I've been enjoying Charlie Chaplin and my favorite silent actor Buster Keaton. One gripe I do have with modern presentations of silent films is the fact that they're shown at the wrong speed and can be shown with a great deal of digital noise reduction in an ill-fated desire to reduce visible film grain. I didn't know until recently that silent films often had no set frame rate, and that the herky-jerky motion we associate with them is inaccurate because they're shown at the sound speed standard of 24fps. If one presents the film in an interlaced format such as 1080i or even 2160i, you can show it at a proper speed even on modern TVs.

    The lack of sound, forced the director to focus on the visual aspects. These compositions are much more powerful than today's cinema.

    As an early teenager I discovered Valentino's 1923 "Blood and Sand" on TV in a Public Channel (Ch. 6) in Puerto Rico. Then, in Tampa, Florida's County Library, I discovered 16mm Movies in their entirety which apparently had lapsed copyrights; you could borrow them for a week or so! My dad had a projector and we watched "The Kid", "Way Down East," "Easy Street," "The Gold Rush," "Tol'able David," and many others. Then, with the advent of Video (VHS formats) and Video Cassette Players, I seeked out as many as I could at the video stores and actual libraries, once they began to also have them!

    What a beautifully produced and written presentation, Mr. Kehr. Thank you. I came across this as I'm going to see Rosita for the first time next week with an orchestra(with the original score, no less) here in Los Angeles. Words can't convey the affection and respect I have for MoMA's work in preserving and presenting film-especially silent film. Kudos!

    “Silent films are only primitive in the sense that they came first, they were primary. Everything else is built upon that”
    God, I love this line here because it’s just so true. Compared to modern film standards they’re “primitive” but they were the building blocks for the standards we have today and I’m so glad people are recognising that!

"Metropolis", "Der letze man", "Sunrise", "Intolerance", Chaplin's and so on.... even "the birth of a nation". Thank you so much for the work you all do!

    The first silent movie that seriously got my attention was 'Ben Hur, A Tale Of The Christ' (1925). This must have been about 40 years ago; I was about 13 years old by then. It wasn't an easy view, because it was broadcast by a German tv station (!). The screen titles were in English. At the time, the Germans liked anything translated, so a German native voice over translated the titles in German. Some experience, being native Dutch myself: listening to German words (I didn't grasp that much of the language at the time , quite exhausting) and reading English screen titles, being a novice in the English language too. I had to solve the language-and-story-puzzle real time.
    What kept me going was the story and the beautiful music that came along with the picture. First I was a bit impatient, being spoiled a bit by viewing movies with sound I guess. But the more the story unfolded, the more I felt relaxed and focused on everything that was happening on the screen.
    This experience was quite a lesson in how to watch a silent movie. Another one -about a year or five later- was a 'live' screening in a theatre in Rotterdam, The Netherlands (I lived near that city at the time) where Charlie Chaplin's 'City Lights' was screened with music by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. I still get a bit emotional when I think of that evening. I went alone, no other people distracted me, I was focused completely on the story and the music. What an experience! At the moment, my wife is quite ill, so I can't go to the movies, with or without her. I'm sorry for that. I would have liked to share the experience with my 'soulmate'.
    Maybe one day we will.

    I learned about silent films from the movie singing in the rain. At first I didn’t like the idea of them and thought they were a joke, but after so long, as I got into more and more classic films, I learned about actors who as well as making taking films began in the silent film era. So I wanted to start watching them and I have watched so far maybe a hundred or so, and they’re just like other movies, some are good, some are bad. I really don’t go around telling too many people I like silent films, ‘cause a lot of people won’t understand why, but there’s nothing wrong with looking at what people enjoyed in a time when life was different and people seemed to be more connected then they are today.

    My Grandmother was a child and teen back in the teens and twenties and loved Mary Pickford and Lillian and Dorthey Gish and talked about them a lot. I mainly got to see growing up the chaplain and Laurel and Hardy films it wasn't till after my mother passed away a few years ago that I found my grandmothers autograph photo of Lillian Gish and found out just last year that Lillian and Dorthey are actually distant cousins of mine which made it easy for me to understand how my grandmother got the photos back when she was young. I have been able to recently find that Itunes has put a lot of the old movies up for digital buying and I have picked up several of the films for my own collection.

    My first experience watching silent movies was in the 8th, snow day so no school and AMC aired The Gold Rush with Charlie Chaplin. Boy I was captivated! I’ll never forget watching the scene with him eating his shoe! I’ve introduced silent movies to my kids with films by Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton etc. even The Little Rascals in the silent era. With the help of the internet, silent movies are so much more accessible than before.

    Hello-
    I find it fascinating that a star of Mary Pickford's stature would allow her own film and one that was financially successful
    to decay. probably Pickford's biggest rival during the silent era was Theda Bara. unfortunately virtually all of Bara's films
    were destroyed in the infamous 1937 Fox Vault Fire.

    Not to worry folks about the over 70% lost silent films but celebrate those that are extant. I personally have over 300 silent films on physical media and have yet to find time to watch over half of them. The only worry is some of these silent film releases are on DVD-R/Blu Ray-R and who knows how long these will last. I can understand if it's a small label/organisation releasing the films on DVD-R but for a large studio (yes the releases on standard blue cover) to do it is just shambolic treatment of some marvelous films (not your usual top 30 must-see silents).

    i first encountered silent movies after watching hugo and doing a quick google search of george melies trip to the moon . i hate to admit but at first i thought that silent movies would be boring. i think that was a wonderful first exposure and i cant say that i go out of my way to see silent movies but i do appreciate how much they have gone through over the years and somehow survived more or less intact (i watched a metropolis screening where we were warned about some scenes being especially damaged even with the restoration) and the movies themselves.

    The restoration looks great; my compliments. As to the mystery about Mary denouncing the movie, I think it depended on when you asked her. I think that in 1933, when she called the film a failure, she was simply in a bad mood: Fairbanks had just left her, she wasn't getting work as an actress, no one wanted to see her, a creature of the past, etc. Perhaps she was embarrassed that Lubitsch did the one thing no one else had ever done: made her a sexy woman, which she must've decided was forever against her image as "America's Sweetheart". She moderated her opinion somewhat later, calling it mostly a director/actor mismatch. But yeah, it wasn't a failure. Quite literally earned $1M at the box office - 1923 dollars, too. That's a lot of moolah.

    Couldn't the release of this film help support conservation efforts for other vanishing films? Perhaps something done in conjunction with the Pickford Foundation, or the AFI? Who would benefit financially if "Rosita" were released for purchase and home viewing? I have only seen the copy from Russia but I fell in love with Pickford's performance, and would love to see/own the restoration in its entirety. I, too, am mystified why she turned her back on this gem -- Why, Mary, why?

    I often hear that the primary reason early films were lost was because few cared about their preservation. So, how did the world come to decide that it was important to preserve film? What were some of the first films to be given the treatment to last? Was it by public demand or by the demands of a few eccentric millionaires?

    I love silent film. I would like to see more modern silent films. Perhaps they could have sound. Just no dialogue.

    Seeing rosita eating the food made me want to watch this film. It was so funny.

    One day I hope that somewhere, somehow, a copy of "London by Midnight" will be found.

    The idea that 90 percent of silent films are lost is wrong. Of the nearly 11, 000 feature films produced between 1912 and 1929 25 to 30 percent still survive. Stop saying that 90 percent of silent films are lost.

    When I was a kid back in the 60s my really first encounter with a son of picture was Rudolph Valentino's blood is sand but I saw the ending of it'cause he was dying in the picture in his atypical typical kid fashion ohh he's dead so we don't want about my business that's a kid for you and the rest is history
