SILENT GEM MOVIES

Farrah Weinstein, Neighbor

SUNDAY SILENTS: We return to the Warner Bros Archive for two more rare silent gems. Journey west with Alan Crosland's Old San Francisco (1927-89 min.), in which a corrupt Oriental politician (Warner Oland) lusts after the gently bred daughter of the Spanish aristocracy (Dolores Costello). After a brief intermission, travel further with W.S. Van Dyke's exotic White Shadows in the South Seas (1928-85 min.). Monte Blue, Raquel Torres and Robert Anderson star in this tale of Pacific island culture threatened by white interlopers. Both films feature musical scores and color tinting.
