As for Romola, I wasn't watching it so much for Gish (sorry, Lillian!) but for Colman -- which made it a double disappointment, since his role was so negligible.

Re the silent Beau Geste, I have a copy but it's in even worse shape than Romola.

But of course. :) One interesting thing about this movie is that even though this is Farrell's first leading role, and there was no Farrell persona yet, the character of Dave Weston is extremely Farrell-ish. He's a big, strong guy who has no fear of tangling with a wounded half dog-half wolf (poor Rinty with a thorn in his paw -- Farrell is his Androcles here) or jumping the villain hoping to get the gun from him, but when it comes to girls, Dave is all thoughtfulness and romance. In one of my favorite bits right at the end of the movie, he even HOLDS THE PARASOL for May! (June Marlowe). What a guy. :)drednm wrote:Is that Charles Farrell with the dog and bouquet?
