    Can you add music please. If people don't want it they can turn it off. But music really brings these old films even more to life and brings out even more beauty.

    Colleen Moore, the quintessential flapper! Amazing that optical sound was tested in 1923 and 2 strip Technicolor was also around then. It would have been technically possible to produce a colour talkie in 1923.

      I feel like big stars felt that color movies were a gimmick! Like how there were a lot of "silent" movies, but they had soundtracks like WHY BE GOOD or OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS. until the 1950s color movies were regarded as below for great artists.

    Thank you for presenting this melodramatic look at ambition gone wrong, starring Colleen Moore in one of her early film roles. While a star during the silent film era, Moore's career was extended into the talkies, but made fewer films in the 30's. Unfortunately, she met the same fate as her silent film contemporaries when the studios felt that her voice wasn't good enough for sound. I saw her do a 1934 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. film on TV, Success at Any Price, and, while doing a supporting role, I felt that she had a sweet sounding speaking voice. Oh, well, it's all history now.

      She managed a magnificent second career after movies, though in high finance. A great woman and a fine role model for women [and men] everywhere.
