Silent Film
A silent film is a film with no synchronized Sound recording and reproduction, recorded sound (or more generally, no audible dialogue). Though silent films convey narrative and emotion visually, various plot elements (such as a setting or era) or key lines of dialogue may, when necessary, be conveyed by the use of intertitle, title cards. The term "silent film" is something of a misnomer, as these films were almost always accompanied by live sounds. During the silent era that existed from the mid-1890s to the late 1920s, a piano, pianist, theatre organ, theater organist—or even, in large cities, a small orchestra—would often play music to accompany the films. Pianists and organists would play either from sheet music, or musical improvisation, improvisation. Sometimes a person would even narrate the inter-title cards for the audience.

A Fool There Was (1915 Film)
''A Fool There Was'' is an American silent drama film produced by William Fox, directed by Frank Powell, and starring Theda Bara. Released in 1915, the film was long considered controversial for such risqué intertitle cards as "Kiss me, my fool!" ''A Fool There Was'' is one of the few extant films featuring Theda Bara. It popularised the word '' vamp'' (short for vampire), which describes a '' femme fatale'' who causes the moral degradation of those she seduces, first fascinating and then exhausting her victims. In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Plot John Schuyler ( Edward José), a rich Wall Street lawyer and diplomat, is a husband and a devoted family man. He is sent to England on a diplomatic mission without his wife and daughter. On the ship he meets the " Vampire woman" (Theda Bara)-a psychic vampire described as "a woman of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The ''Missoulian'' is the largest published newspaper in Western Montana, and is distributed throughout the city of Missoula, and most of Western Montana.

McCormick, a prominent Montana politician and father of future Congressman Washington J. McCormick, as publisher. It served as a Democratic paper that was devoted to reporting on the development of western Montana. A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
