Arthur Hoyt (19 March 1874–4 January 1953) was an American film character actor who appeared in more than 275 films in his 34 year film career, about a third of them silent films. He was a brother of Harry O. Hoyt who directed the first The Lost World(1925), and a film in which Arthur co-starred.
Born in Georgetown, Colorado in 1874, Hoyt made his Broadway debut in 1905 in a play The Prince Consort, which was not a success. He also appeared in Ferenc Molnár's The Devil in 1908, and made his final stand on the Great White Way in The Great Name in 1911.
Hoyt made one silent movie in 1914, a comedy short called The Scrub Lady, but his film acting career did not begin in earnest until 1916 when he appeared in another short, The Heart of a Show Girl. From that time until 1944, not a year passed without a film being released that Hoyt had acted in – and frequently a number of them, up to a dozen or so. Hoyt had large roles in such silent films as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921), Souls for Sale (1923), and The Lost World (1925). He also directed two silent features, Station Content starring Gloria Swanson and High Stakes, and was the casting director for another, Her American Husband, all in 1918.
Rudolph Valentino (May 6, 1895 – August 23, 1926) was an Italian actor, known simply as "Valentino" and also an early pop icon. A sex symbol of the 1920s, Valentino was known as the "Latin Lover". He starred in several well-known silent films including The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The Sheik, Blood and Sand, The Eagle and Son of the Sheik. He had applied for American citizenship shortly before his death.
His sudden death at age 31 caused mass hysteria among his female fans, further propelling him into icon status. Though his films are not as well known today, his name is still widely known.
Valentino was born Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Valentina D'Antonguolla in Castellaneta, Puglia, Kingdom of Italy. His mother, Marie Berta Gabrielle (née Barbin; 1856–1919), was French, born in Lure in Lorraine. His father, Giovanni Antonio Giuseppe Fedele Guglielmi di Valentina D'Antonguolla, was Italian; he was a veterinarian who died of malaria when Valentino was 11. He had an older brother, Alberto (1892–1981), a younger sister, Maria, and an older sister Beatrice who died in infancy.
There used to be a time when I would call and you'd be there
Now your leaving's killing me and the time we spent together
Why can't we tape the picture that is scattered on the floor
I guess there's just no love here any more
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
I tried everything I could to hold onto that life
But now I see and I realise it wasn't always right
I’ll take the good and leave the bad and walk out of the door
I guess there's just no love here any more
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
With all the tears I cried I should have drowned out all the pain
I’ll never go back, never cry, I’ve got too much to gain
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
You won't be here tomorrow
