Phyllis Haver (January 6, 1899 -- November 19, 1960) was an American actress of the silent film era. She was born Phyllis Haver in Douglass, Kansas. When she was young, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, then a city of less than half a million people. Haver attended Los Angeles Polytechnic High. After graduating, she played piano to accompany the new silent films in local theaters.
Haver auditioned for comedy producer Mack Sennett on a whim. Sennett hired her as one of his original Sennett Bathing Beauties. Within a few years, she appeared as a leading lady in two-reelers for Sennett Studios.
At the Sennett Studios, Haver played the part of Roxie Hart in the first film adaptation of Chicago in 1927, opposite Hungarian film actor Victor Varconi. One reviewer called her performance "astoundingly fine", and added that Haver "makes this combination of tragedy and comedy a most entertaining piece of work."
She performed in the 1928 comedy film The Battle of the Sexes, directed by D. W. Griffith. The next year, she appeared with Lon Chaney, Sr. in his last silent film, Thunder. Haver retired from the industry with two 'sound' films to her credit.

This video is a project from the paws of Jordan Tompkins and Joshua Hill. In Spring 2015, they collaborated with Orange Theatre to compose live music for their performances of Herakles. The project is set to resume in Fall 2015 and the fellas wanted to keep their digits and neural pathways fresh by improvising film scores.
The sound was recorded live in two run throughs. All of the sounds come from a Fender Rhodes, an Epiphone ET 275, a drum set, their bodies, a plethora of pedals, and some silly percussion instruments. Most of the sound was taken from the second take but there is some sampling from the first to help fill space or to help questionable improvising choices. The sound was then mixed and the video of them performing was cut with the original film.
It was a really fun project and they plan to do more. If you have any silent film suggestions leave them in the comments!

Phyllis Haver
Phyllis Haver (January 6, 1899 – November 19, 1960) was an American actress of the silent film era.
Early life
She was born Phyllis Haver in Douglass, Kansas. When she was young, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, then a city of less than half a million people. Haver attended Los Angeles Polytechnic High. After graduating, she played piano to accompany the new silent films in local theaters.
Career
Haver auditioned for comedy producer Mack Sennett on a whim. Sennett hired her as one of his original Sennett Bathing Beauties. Within a few years, she appeared as a leading lady in two-reelers for Sennett Studios.
Later, while signed with DeMille-Pathé, Haver played the part of Roxie Hart in the first film adaptation of Chicago in 1927, opposite Hungarian film actor Victor Varconi. One reviewer called her performance "astoundingly fine," and added that Haver "makes this combination of tragedy and comedy a most entertaining piece of work."
She performed in the comedy film The Battle of the Sexes (1928), directed by D. W. Griffith, and appeared with Lon Chaney in his last silent film, Thunder (1929).

The Balloonatic
The Balloonatic is a 1923 American short comedy film co-directed by and starring Buster Keaton. It was one of Keaton's final short films.
Plot
A young man (Keaton) has a series of encounters in an amusement area, much like Coney Island, until happening upon a group of men preparing a hot air balloon for launch. The young man assists the group by climbing atop the balloon to afix a pennant, when the balloon mistakenly takes flight with no one aboard but the young man. The young man finally downs the balloon in a wilderness area, where he encounters a young outdoorswoman and proceeds to have a series of misadventures.

Phyllis
Phyllis (Greek: Φυλλίς) is a character in Greek mythology, daughter of a Thracian king (according to some, of Sithon; most other accounts do not give her father's name at all, but one informs that he was named either Philander, Ciasus, or Thelus). She married Demophon, King of Athens and son of Theseus, while he stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan War.
Demophon, duty bound to Greece, returns home to help his father, leaving Phyllis behind. She sends him away with a coffin with the sacrament of Rhea, asking him to open it only when he has given up hope of returning to her. From here, the story diverges. In one version, Phyllis realizes that he will not return and commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree. Where she is buried, an almond tree grows, which blossoms when Demophon returns to her. In a second version of the story, Demophon opens the caskets and, horrified by what he saw in there, rides off like wild, but his horse stumbles and he accidentally falls on his own sword.

Silent film
A silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound, especially with no spoken dialogue. In silent films for entertainment the dialogue is transmitted through muted gestures, mime and title cards. The idea of combining motion pictures with recorded sound is nearly as old as film itself, but because of the technical challenges involved, synchronized dialogue was only made practical in the late 1920s with the perfection of the Audion amplifier tube and the introduction of the Vitaphone system.
The term silent film is therefore a retronym, that is, a term created to distinguish something retroactively – the descriptor silent used before the late 1920s would have been a redundancy and possibly in modern times a misnomer. After the release of The Jazz Singer in 1927, the "talkies", also known as sound film or talking pictures became more and more commonplace. Within a decade, popular widespread production of silent films had ceased, hence production moved into the sound era.

Phyllis Haver (January 6, 1899 -- November 19, 1960) was an American actress of the silent film era. She was born Phyllis Haver in Douglass, Kansas. When she was young, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, then a city of less than half a million people. Haver attended Los Angeles Polytechnic High. After graduating, she played piano to accompany the new silent films in local theaters.
Haver auditioned for comedy producer Mack Sennett on a whim. Sennett hired her as one of his original Sennett Bathing Beauties. Within a few years, she appeared as a leading lady in two-reelers for Sennett Studios.
At the Sennett Studios, Haver played the part of Roxie Hart in the first film adaptation of Chicago in 1927, opposite Hungarian film actor Victor Varconi. One reviewer called her performance "astoundingly fine", and added that Haver "makes this combination of tragedy and comedy a most entertaining piece of work."
She performed in the 1928 comedy film The Battle of the Sexes, directed by D. W. Griffith. The next year, she appeared with Lon Chaney, Sr. in his last silent film, Thunder. Haver retired from the industry with two 'sound' films to her credit.
Leo Reisman and his orchestra perform When You Come To The End Of The Day.

This video is a project from the paws of Jordan Tompkins and Joshua Hill. In Spring 2015, they collaborated with Orange Theatre to compose live music for their performances of Herakles. The project is set to resume in Fall 2015 and the fellas wanted to keep their digits and neural pathways fresh by improvising film scores.
The sound was recorded live in two run throughs. All of the sounds come from a Fender Rhodes, an Epiphone ET 275, a drum set, their bodies, a plethora of pedals, and some silly percussion instruments. Most of the sound was taken from the second take but there is some sampling from the first to help fill space or to help questionable improvising choices. The sound was then mixed and the video of them performing was cut with the original film.
It was a really fun project and they plan to do more. If you have any silent film suggestions leave them in the comments!

Her popularity even exceeding that of America's Sweetheart Mary Pickford. Leading man is Harrison Ford.

Escape - 1948 - Rex Harrison, Peggy Cummins, William Hartnell, Jill Esmond & Norman Wooland
A film based on the play by John Galsworthy written in 1926 and not to be mistaken for the same-titled best-seller by Ethel Vance published in 1939. This is not Prof Higgins or Dr Doolittle but Rex Harrison in his acting days. The movie is very dark - literally - and the music track, once again supplied by William Alwyn, is somewhat over loaded causing a certain amount of distortion, but hopefully won't detract too much from the movie itself. The story concerns an aviator, Harrison, who, in trying to defend a woman being charged with prostitution, accidentally kills the arresting officer and is sent to jail for murder, knowing he was not guilty. When the opportunity arises, he makes his escape, and with the help of an aristocratic young woman, Peggy Cummins, avoids re-capture by the police...

Madonna of the Seven Moons - 1944 - Phyllis Calvert, Stewart Granger, Patricia Roc, Jean Kent
A box-office success of 1944 for Gainsborough Films, featuring Stewart Granger who felt his theatrical training was being wasted by being asked (forced?) to play in "...this kind of junk..."! James Mason thought the Gainsborough films were "...bloody codswallop...". Patricia Roc felt this was the most bizarre of all Gainsborough's films in which "...Italian characters talk and behave as though they had just stepped out of a Noel Coward play set in the Home Counties..." ("Patricia Roc - The Goddess of the Odeons" by Michael Hodgson). The New Statesman's review thought it was a notably bad film and that everything in the film was "...treacly - characters, dialogue and situations..". Leslie Halliwell considered it "...novelettish balderdash killed stone dead by stilted presentation...". Never...

A film based on the play by John Galsworthy written in 1926 and not to be mistaken for the same-titled best-seller by Ethel Vance published in 1939. This is not Prof Higgins or Dr Doolittle but Rex Harrison in his acting days. The movie is very dark - literally - and the music track, once again supplied by William Alwyn, is somewhat over loaded causing a certain amount of distortion, but hopefully won't detract too much from the movie itself. The story concerns an aviator, Harrison, who, in trying to defend a woman being charged with prostitution, accidentally kills the arresting officer and is sent to jail for murder, knowing he was not guilty. When the opportunity arises, he makes his escape, and with the help of an aristocratic young woman, Peggy Cummins, avoids re-capture by the police, lead by William Hartnell - always good value! The inevitable happens and the girl falls for the convict, who is, naturally, re-captured and returned to prison to await his release and reuniting with the girl who has promised to wait while he serves his sentence. Norman Wooland, Jill Esmond, Cyril Cusack, Marjorie Reynolds, Betty Ann Davies, John Slater and Maurice Denham are some of the familiar names filling out the cast. The film was directed by the prolific American writer/director/producer Joseph L Mankiewicz, who was responsible for such tremendous films as "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949), "All About Eve" (1950), "5 Fingers" (1952), "Guys and Dolls" (1955) and "Sleuth" (1972) amongst many others. Personally, I could have done without the religious moralising towards the end of the film, but I guess it had its point...

A box-office success of 1944 for Gainsborough Films, featuring Stewart Granger who felt his theatrical training was being wasted by being asked (forced?) to play in "...this kind of junk..."! James Mason thought the Gainsborough films were "...bloody codswallop...". Patricia Roc felt this was the most bizarre of all Gainsborough's films in which "...Italian characters talk and behave as though they had just stepped out of a Noel Coward play set in the Home Counties..." ("Patricia Roc - The Goddess of the Odeons" by Michael Hodgson). The New Statesman's review thought it was a notably bad film and that everything in the film was "...treacly - characters, dialogue and situations..". Leslie Halliwell considered it "...novelettish balderdash killed stone dead by stilted presentation...". Nevertheless, there's much to enjoy in the film and the public loved it on release - giving it £320,000 in a mere few weeks at the box-office. Re-evaluating the film in 2003 programme notes for the NFT said "...the excellent script raises the film above cliché and Phyllis Calvert expertly negotiates the dual role...". That dual role being the prudish and highly-strung English Maddalena, married to an Italian businessman (John Stuart - with a perfect English accent!), who, after a supposed childhood rape, has developed a schizophrenic personality and occasionally disappears from her marital home after transgressing into a wild gypsy. Don't even ask how this should come about - that's totally unimportant! Her daughter, Angela (Pat Roc), returning to her Italian home after years of schooling in England and having become the total antithesis of her mother, sets out to discover where she disappears to. Other parts are played by Jean Kent - a flamboyant and fiery young woman who vies for gypsy bandit Stewart Granger's affections, while he himself is ‘owned', emotionally, by the gypsy side of Calvert; Nancy Price, plays Granger's mother (a nice turn, here) and Dulcie Gray as an artist's wife in one of her earliest a roles - a part that is completely unnecessary! The whole concoction was directed by Arthur Crabtree (his first directorial effort after years as one of Gainsborough's leading cinematographers) before going on to direct further films such as "Caravan" (1946) and "Dear Murderer" (1947) and later turning to TV direction. According to Lynda Myles in ‘Time Out' this was a ‘...striking example of black romanticism, regrettably rare in British cinema...". So which ever side of the various reviewers opinions you take, this is a most enjoyable film full of delightful hokum about which you have to make up your own mind...

CHICAGO 1927 Silent Film NITEHAWK CINEMA LIVE + SOUND + CINEMA Live: GUIZOT
Sat Mar 23 & Sun 24 at 11:45 am You know the Chicago story best in musical form but this is the original narrative film about murderous vixon Roxie Hart...with a live musical score by GUIZOT! For a long time, audiences were unable to see this 1927 classic comedy-drama silent film by Frank Urson (produced by legendary director Cecil B. DeMille) but thanks to the UCLA Film and Television Archive, whose recent print we'll be screening, that has all changed. Chicago is drawn from material in a play by Maurine Dallas Watkis' based on the true life story of Beulah Annan, fictionalized as Roxie Hart, and the high-profile murder of her boyfriend. With Hollywood in mind, the ending in Chicago is more cruel (criminals must pay!) but the journey there is full of misplaced celebrity, feminine wiles,...

Her relationships with ‘Bucktrout' (Maurice Denham), who leases her the Hampstead house, and ‘FitzGeorge' (Harry Andrews), a friend from the early days of her life who declares a love for her that he never before allowed her to know of, are beautifully subtle and sensitively conveyed by these superb actors.
Although set in the 1930s, the film has the feel of the slow and gentle upper-class life of Edwardian days before the first World War that is now totally forgotten except when depicted in dramas such as these. The cast is filled out with other excellent performances in subsidiary roles including Phyllis Calvert, Graham Crowden, Hilary Mason, Faith Brook, David Waller and Eileen Way, who plays Lady Slane's ‘confidant' and companion. In 1987 the film won four BAFTA Awards including Best Actress for Wendy Hiller, and Best Drama Series shared between Martyn Friend, who directed the film so sensitively and captured the contrast between the dull and somewhat dingy life of Lady Slane's descendants and the colour and freshness of her new-found freedom in her Hampstead house so subtly, and Colin Rogers, who produced the film. The attractive music was composed by Nigel Hess...

A film based on the play by John Galsworthy written in 1926 and not to be mistaken for the same-titled best-seller by Ethel Vance published in 1939. This is not Prof Higgins or Dr Doolittle but Rex Harrison in his acting days. The movie is very dark - literally - and the music track, once again supplied by William Alwyn, is somewhat over loaded causing a certain amount of distortion, but hopefully won't detract too much from the movie itself. The story concerns an aviator, Harrison, who, in trying to defend a woman being charged with prostitution, accidentally kills the arresting officer and is sent to jail for murder, knowing he was not guilty. When the opportunity arises, he makes his escape, and with the help of an aristocratic young woman, Peggy Cummins, avoids re-capture by the police, lead by William Hartnell - always good value! The inevitable happens and the girl falls for the convict, who is, naturally, re-captured and returned to prison to await his release and reuniting with the girl who has promised to wait while he serves his sentence. Norman Wooland, Jill Esmond, Cyril Cusack, Marjorie Reynolds, Betty Ann Davies, John Slater and Maurice Denham are some of the familiar names filling out the cast. The film was directed by the prolific American writer/director/producer Joseph L Mankiewicz, who was responsible for such tremendous films as "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949), "All About Eve" (1950), "5 Fingers" (1952), "Guys and Dolls" (1955) and "Sleuth" (1972) amongst many others.

[Live Silent Film Score] - The Balloonatic - Buster Keaton - Phyllis Haver - 1923
This video is a project from the paws of Jordan Tompkins and Joshua Hill. In Spring 2015, they collaborated with Orange Theatre to compose live music for their performances of Herakles. The project is set to resume in Fall 2015 and the fellas wanted to keep their digits and neural pathways fresh by improvising film scores. The sound was recorded live in two run throughs. All of the sounds come from a Fender Rhodes, an Epiphone ET 275, a drum set, their bodies, a plethora of pedals, and some silly percussion instruments. Most of the sound was taken from the second take but there is some sampling from the first to help fill space or to help questionable improvising choices.

Phyllis Haver (January 6, 1899 -- November 19, 1960) was an American actress of the silent film era. She was born Phyllis Haver in Douglass, Kansas. When she was young, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, then a city of less than half a million people. Haver attended Los Angeles Polytechnic High. After graduating, she played piano to accompany the new silent films in local theaters.
Haver auditioned for comedy producer Mack Sennett on a whim. Sennett hired her as one of his original Sennett Bathing Beauties. Within a few years, she appeared as a leading lady in two-reelers for Sennett Studios.
At the Sennett Studios, Haver played the part of Roxie Hart in the first film adaptation of Chicago in 1927, opposite Hungarian film actor Victor Varconi. One reviewer called her performance "astoundingly fine", and added that Haver "makes this combination of tragedy and comedy a most entertaining piece of work."
She performed in the 1928 comedy film The Battle of the Sexes, directed by D. W. Griffith. The next year, she appeared with Lon Chaney, Sr. in his last silent film, Thunder. Haver retired from the industry with two 'sound' films to her credit.

This video is a project from the paws of Jordan Tompkins and Joshua Hill. In Spring 2015, they collaborated with Orange Theatre to compose live music for their performances of Herakles. The project is set to resume in Fall 2015 and the fellas wanted to keep their digits and neural pathways fresh by improvising film scores.
The sound was recorded live in two run throughs. All of the sounds come from a Fender Rhodes, an Epiphone ET 275, a drum set, their bodies, a plethora of pedals, and some silly percussion instruments. Most of the sound was taken from the second take but there is some sampling from the first to help fill space or to help questionable improvising choices. The sound was then mixed and the video of them performing was cut with the original film.
It was a really fun project and they plan to do more. If you have any silent film suggestions leave them in the comments!

A box-office success of 1944 for Gainsborough Films, featuring Stewart Granger who felt his theatrical training was being wasted by being asked (forced?) to play in "...this kind of junk..."! James Mason thought the Gainsborough films were "...bloody codswallop...". Patricia Roc felt this was the most bizarre of all Gainsborough's films in which "...Italian characters talk and behave as though they had just stepped out of a Noel Coward play set in the Home Counties..." ("Patricia Roc - The Goddess of the Odeons" by Michael Hodgson). The New Statesman's review thought it was a notably bad film and that everything in the film was "...treacly - characters, dialogue and situations..".

Escape - 1948 - Rex Harrison, Peggy Cummins, William Hartnell, Jill Esmond & Norman Wooland
A film based on the play by John Galsworthy written in 1926 and not to be mistaken for the same-titled best-seller by Ethel Vance published in 1939. This is not Prof Higgins or Dr Doolittle but Rex Harrison in his acting days. The movie is very dark - literally - and the music track, once again supplied by William Alwyn, is somewhat over loaded causing a certain amount of distortion, but hopefully won't detract too much from the movie itself. The story concerns an aviator, Harrison, who, in trying to defend a woman being charged with prostitution, accidentally kills the arresting officer and is sent to jail for murder, knowing he was not guilty. When the opportunity arises, he makes his escape, and with the help of an aristocratic young woman, Peggy Cummins, avoids re-capture by the police...

Buster Keaton accidentally flies away in a hot air balloon in this funny 1923 silent film short. Also included in the cast are Phyllis Haver, an original Sennet Bathing Beauty as the outdoors woman, and Ruth Glover a.k.a. Babe London, painter and actress who later had appearances in The Perfect Flapper and The Boob, seen here as the fat girl at The House of Trouble.

Girl chasing at the amusement park leads Buster to a runaway balloon ride, fishing mishaps, wilderness adventure, and backwoods romance with Phyllis Haver. This is one of Keaton’s last short films before he moves on to feature films. The filmmaker was certainly familiar with the wilderness due to his family’s summers at Lakeside in Muskegon!

A box-office success of 1944 for Gainsborough Films, featuring Stewart Granger who felt his theatrical training was being wasted by being asked (forced?) to play in "...this kind of junk..."! James Mason thought the Gainsborough films were "...bloody codswallop...". Patricia Roc felt this was the most bizarre of all Gainsborough's films in which "...Italian characters talk and behave as though they had just stepped out of a Noel Coward play set in the Home Counties..." ("Patricia Roc - The Goddess of the Odeons" by Michael Hodgson). The New Statesman's review thought it was a notably bad film and that everything in the film was "...treacly - characters, dialogue and situations..". Leslie Halliwell considered it "...novelettish balderdash killed stone dead by stilted presentation...". Nevertheless, there's much to enjoy in the film and the public loved it on release - giving it £320,000 in a mere few weeks at the box-office. Re-evaluating the film in 2003 programme notes for the NFT said "...the excellent script raises the film above cliché and Phyllis Calvert expertly negotiates the dual role...". That dual role being the prudish and highly-strung English Maddalena, married to an Italian businessman (John Stuart - with a perfect English accent!), who, after a supposed childhood rape, has developed a schizophrenic personality and occasionally disappears from her marital home after transgressing into a wild gypsy. Don't even ask how this should come about - that's totally unimportant! Her daughter, Angela (Pat Roc), returning to her Italian home after years of schooling in England and having become the total antithesis of her mother, sets out to discover where she disappears to. Other parts are played by Jean Kent - a flamboyant and fiery young woman who vies for gypsy bandit Stewart Granger's affections, while he himself is ‘owned', emotionally, by the gypsy side of Calvert; Nancy Price, plays Granger's mother (a nice turn, here) and Dulcie Gray as an artist's wife in one of her earliest a roles - a part that is completely unnecessary! The whole concoction was directed by Arthur Crabtree (his first directorial effort after years as one of Gainsborough's leading cinematographers) before going on to direct further films such as "Caravan" (1946) and "Dear Murderer" (1947) and later turning to TV direction. According to Lynda Myles in ‘Time Out' this was a ‘...striking example of black romanticism, regrettably rare in British cinema...". So which ever side of the various reviewers opinions you take, this is a most enjoyable film full of delightful hokum about which you have to make up your own mind...

A film based on the play by John Galsworthy written in 1926 and not to be mistaken for the same-titled best-seller by Ethel Vance published in 1939. This is not Prof Higgins or Dr Doolittle but Rex Harrison in his acting days. The movie is very dark - literally - and the music track, once again supplied by William Alwyn, is somewhat over loaded causing a certain amount of distortion, but hopefully won't detract too much from the movie itself. The story concerns an aviator, Harrison, who, in trying to defend a woman being charged with prostitution, accidentally kills the arresting officer and is sent to jail for murder, knowing he was not guilty. When the opportunity arises, he makes his escape, and with the help of an aristocratic young woman, Peggy Cummins, avoids re-capture by the police, lead by William Hartnell - always good value! The inevitable happens and the girl falls for the convict, who is, naturally, re-captured and returned to prison to await his release and reuniting with the girl who has promised to wait while he serves his sentence. Norman Wooland, Jill Esmond, Cyril Cusack, Marjorie Reynolds, Betty Ann Davies, John Slater and Maurice Denham are some of the familiar names filling out the cast. The film was directed by the prolific American writer/director/producer Joseph L Mankiewicz, who was responsible for such tremendous films as "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949), "All About Eve" (1950), "5 Fingers" (1952), "Guys and Dolls" (1955) and "Sleuth" (1972) amongst many others. Personally, I could have done without the religious moralising towards the end of the film, but I guess it had its point...

Feels Far, Nikki Hassman
Feels Far
You must believe
And wait patiently
These are the words
That you say to me
Well, you say
We are growing close
You say close, but I say...
Ooohhh, Ooohhh baby, feels far
Ooohhh, Ooohhh baby, feels far
Tell me your dreams
And I'll tell you mine
Tell me someday
Our dreams will collide
Oh, you say
That our time is near
You say near, but I say...
Ooohhh, Ooohhh baby, feels far
Ooohhh, Ooohhh baby, feels far
BRIDGE
I see you gazing at the stars
I wish you would take me where you are
Ooohhh, Ooohhh baby, feels far
Ooohhh, Ooohhh baby, feels far
Ooohhh, Ooohhh baby, feels far
