If you could find a lost film.....
Eric Stott
Lets put the big ones like four Devils aside- what are some personal
desires.
I'd like to see one of Theda Bara's films from the heighth of her career.
The Sideshow of Life (1924) A rare leading man role for Ernest Torrence as a
circus clown who becomes a Major General during WWI (stills show Torrence
looking splendid in uniform) where he falls in love with Anna Q Nillson.
Directed by Herbert Brennon, it must have been beautiful to look at.
Men (1924) Pola Negri sleeps her way to the top. Probably one of those
pictures that pulls its punches after a snappy opening (she reforms) but I'd
like to see it.
Sherlock Holmes (1916) with William Gillette.

That would have been my choice too, but after seeing the 1932 remake,
John Wray's portrayal of the cripple looks every bit as good as what
I've seen in the Chaney Clip of "Miracle Man." This is quite a good
film if you haven't seen it. Here's the cast:
Sylvia Sidney ... Helen Smith
Chester Morris ... John Madison
Robert Coogan ... Bobbie Holmes
John Wray ... The Frog
Ned Sparks ... Harry Evans
Hobart Bosworth ... The Patriarch
Lloyd Hughes ... Robert Thornton
Virginia Bruce ... Margaret Thornton

"We Moderns" with Colleen Moore. I read the synopsis, and it
described the climactic scene - Colleen's character ( a
scatterbrained flapper) attends a jazz party aboard a zeppelin (!) an
aeroplane crashes into sending it hurtling to the ground in flames
(!!) Colleen's character barely escapes with her life. This sounds
great! Who could read that and not want to watch the film? Many of
the lost Colleen Moore films sound like a lot of fun at the very
least.
"The City Gone Wild" Louise Brooks as gangster's moll sounds like the
role she was born to play.
"Gold Diggers of Broadway" just sounds like a great & v v entertaining
film, likewise "Scarlet Seas" w/Richard Barthelmess.
The film that Lillian Gish directed starring Dorothy Gish, I forget
the title, the idea of it sounds pretty intriguing though.
"The Divine Woman", the surviving reel that was included with the
"Divine Lady" DVD was great, Garbo so alive and vivid, also I like
Lowell Sherman, he's such a great rotter.
Based on fancying the leading lady in the photo in "Classics of the
Silent Screen", "You can't Fool Your Wife" w/Leatrice Joy (she looks
so great, and weirdly modern in the still in the book, never managed
to find a scan of it online) the prescence of Nita Naldi also a plus
point. Also "The Awakening" w/Vilma Banky. I don't think she ever
looked better than in the stills for this.
The scenario for "The Battle Cry of Peace" is intriguing &
melodramatic.
Most of the lost Pola Negri American films sound at least interesting.
"The Single Track" (1921) w/Corinne Griffith - there's a still from
it on imdb which does not match the scenario at all, this piques my
curiosity, plus she's great, plus loads of her films are lost which is
a shame.
N_Phay
Something from Theda Bara at the height of her powers/fame would be at
worst interesting, of course.

StormChaser
Featured in Kevin Brownlow's Behind
The Mask Of Innocence book, it looks
like a serious attempt to present
gangster life from a street perspective
during the 20's.
HUMAN WRECKAGE (1923)
In the same book. A serious look at drug
addiction. Wallace Reid's widow, Dorothy
Davenport, starred in this.
VALLEY OF THE GIANTS (1919)
The original film version with Wallace Reid.
A BLIND BARGAIN (1922)
Chaney's ape make-up makes me curious
to see it.
THE DEVIL'S PASSKEY (1920)

christoph...@und.nodak.edu
else has mentioned, but a few others I don't think anyone has noted
yet include:
FLAMING YOUTH (1923) The surviving reel of this Colleen Moore vehicle
is frustratingly tantalizing.
THE GREAT GATSBY (1926) Likewise, the surviving trailer makes you wish
for a time machine.
THE WAY OF ALL FLESH (1927) No doubt predictable Jannings formula, but
the surviving fragment shows it is slick and moving.
MY OFFICIAL WIFE (1914) Fascinating-sounding pre-revolution Russian
intrigue with Clara Kimball Young directed by her husband.
THE FALL OF A NATION (1916) Most likely heavy-handed schlock
propaganda, but Victor Herbert's score survives and would be
fascinating to hear with the film.
TREASURE ISLAND (both 1918 Fox and 1920 Paramount versions)
More films starring Elsie Ferguson, Bessie Barriscale, and Marguerite
Clark.
Do Lois Weber's THE FLIRT (1916) or HOME (1919) still exist anywhere?
Lost early talkies and part-talkie hybrids, of course, would be no
less desirable, especially the many lost Technicolor titles. THE CASE
OF SERGEANT GRISCHA and LEGION OF THE CONDEMNED are transitional films
I've always wanted to see, if possible in both silent and sound
versions.
