It was also the first time I had seen Mary Astor in a silent film that wasn't a period drama. I can't stop thinking about how ridiculously young and beautiful she is.
Mary Astor with short wavy hair, frowning slightly and playing a nurse.

Oh, Doctor! (1925) has given me my new favourite intertitle. (The context being a very cute scene between Reg Denny and Mary Astor) #100yearoldfilms #silentfilm

Sometimes you just feel like watching films from 1925 about rats. #100yearoldfilms #silentfilm

Memories of the school bus came flooding during the 1995 TOTP repeats...
I started secondary school around the time this came out. It was hell. #totp

Squeezed in a final 1924 film before the year ends - Harold Lloyd's Hot Water. Love a good sidewalk elevator scene (or "pavement lift" as it would probably be in my native tongue)... #100yearoldfilms #silentfilm
Still from the film Hot Water in which Harold Lloyd's car is suspended on top of a sidewalk elevator moving upwards.

In a rush to meet my 31st December deadline for 1924 (busy couple of weeks ahead...) I ended up watching 15 Charley Chase shorts yesterday. I can't think of many better ways to spend an afternoon... #100yearoldfilms #silentfilm #silentcomedy
Intertitle from Stolen Goods (1924): "Don't mind father ~ He's just paid his income tax and hates the whole world ~~"
