The British Are Coming! A selection of 1920s British comedies, including;   Adrian Brunel’s glorious spoof travelogue Crossing The Great Sagrada (1924), supposedly made at a cost of just £80, Brunel explained its low budget in his book Film Production: ‘[the film] was about thirty per cent titles, fifty percent cut-outs from old travel films and twenty per cent original material – a disgracefully large percentage of titles for an ordinary film, but for this type of picture it is forgivable’ and detailing an expedition by three explorers confusing London and New York with Papua and in the process sending up film effects, censorship and a profusion of other cinema-related targets.  Find out more at colonialfilm.org.uk;   Bookworms (1920) written by A A Milne, made by Leslie Howard’s newly established Minerva Films company and starring Howard and Pauline Johnson.  The film tells of how a young man’s efforts to meet a zealously guarded girl are frustrated until he inserts a love letter in her library book.  Find out more at bfi.org.uk; and finally,  Variety legend Leslie Sarony singing a comic song or two in a rare DeForest Phonofilm, one of the pioneering British-made talkies that predate Hitchcock’s Blackmail.  Presented as part of the Kennington Bioscope Silent Laughter Weekend 2018.  Introduced by Tony Fletcher.  With live musical accompaniment.  The Cinema Museum, Lambeth, London Link

A Perfect Gentleman (Dir. Clyde Bruckman, US,1928)(Screening format – not known).  Monty Banks is perhaps best remembered today for having married (and directed) Gracie Fields, something which has unjustly eclipsed his career as a star comedian in shorts and features.  In this, one of his best starring roles, Banks  a trusted bank employee, is about to be married to Helen Wayne (Ruth Dwyer), the president’s daughter. En route to the wedding he has a flat tire and is accidentally knocked unconscious; his valet, attempting to revive him, gets him hopelessly intoxicated. At the bride’s house, Monty’s dislike for the aunt combined with his drunken behavior result in his expulsion, and  a rival for the hand of Helen, looks to have prevailed.  But all is not lost although Monty’s adventures are only just beginning….    Find out more at imdb.com.  Presented as part of the Kennington Bioscope Silent Laughter Weekend 2018.   With live musical accompaniment.  The Cinema Museum, Lambeth, London Link

Exit Smiling (Dir. Sam Taylor, US, 1926) (Screening format – not known, 77mins) Renowned stage comedienne Beatrice Lillie – a Canadian-born British star whose reputation spanned both continents – made regrettably few films. Fortunately one of these is the 1926 MGM feature Exit Smiling, produced and directed by one of Harold Lloyd’s key associates, Sam Taylor. `Bea’ Lillie  plays Violet, the dogsbody for a travelling theatrical troupe who harbours ambitions to act – or, as a title card informs us, has played `Nothing’ in Much Ado About Nothing!         A true classic, it is a joyous example of her comedic skills but also highlights a Chaplin-esq talent for pathos.  Find out more at  silent-volume.blogspot.co.uk.  Presented as part of the Kennington Bioscope Silent Laughter Weekend 2018.   Introduced by Michelle Facey.  With live musical accompaniment.  The Cinema Museum, Lambeth, London Link

Max Linder, US, 1921) (Screening format – not known, 65mins)  After his early successes as a star of Pathé comedies in his native France, Max Linder made two forays into American film-making.  In Seven Years Bad Luck, perhaps the best of these US made films, the fun starts when Max’s butler breaks a full-length mirror.

So You Won’t Talk  (Dir. William Beaudine, UK, 1935)(Screening format – not known, 84mins) Starring Monty Banks in a rarely-shown British talkie – except he doesn’t talk (mostly!) – in what may have been a means of translating his silent comedy methods into the talkie era, the plot sees Banks becoming weary of all the chatter surrounding him and, in order to win a bet, guaranteeing not to talk. Cue lots of silent comedy as complications ensue …Find out more at imdb.com.  Presented as part of the Kennington Bioscope Silent Laughter Weekend 2018.      The Cinema Museum, Lambeth, London Link   

Noisy Silents  Some silent comedies have always looked as though they were intended to have soundtracks, even though none were provided at the time; these examples, including films starring Harry Langdon, Our Gang and Laurel and Hardy will be provided with the extra sound accompaniment we feel they need – in the final case, we hope, by the audience.

The Woman Under Oath (Dir. John H Stahl. US, 1919) (Screening format – 35mm, 75mins) Eleven angry men and one angry woman try a boy for the murder of his employer, a serial abuser of women. The opening titles ask if women are temperamentally suited for jury duty, which tells its own story, but the film is mostly on the side on the angels. This rarely-seen film, specially programmed around International Women’s Day, is directed with the elegant efficiency for which John Stahl became known.  Find out more at silentlondon.co.uk.  With live piano accompaniment by Cyrus Gabrysch.  BFI Southbank, London Link

Bestia (aka The Polish Dancer) (Dir. Aleksander Hertz, Pol, 1917) (Screening format – not known, 48mins)  Pola Basnikov (Pola Negri) is an adolescent girl living with her parents. After a fight with her father Pola decides to run away. She steals money from her boyfriend before ditching him and gets a job as a model where she meets and becomes involved with a married man.  But can tragedy be far behind…..“Bestia” was one of four films starring Pola Negri that were produced by Sfinks – at the time the biggest Polish studio – and screened in 1917, with Negri becoming in the process the first Polish film star, and archetypal femme fatal.   She was quickly noticed by the German production heads, and it was not long before the German studio Saturn-Film A.G. approached her with a much more lucrative contract but a breach of contract dispute meant she had to make three further films in Poland before she moved to Germany and eventually to the USA.

Little Old New York (Dir. Sidney Olcott, US, 1923) (Screening format – not known, 110 mins)  This charming and expensively made historical romance was one of Marion Davies better films. Never entirely comfortable in the overblown historical drama roles chosen for her by media baron William Randolph Herst while she was his mistress (her preferred forte being light comedy such as Show People(1928)), this one works better than most.  She spends much of the picture disguised as a boy, something she also did effectively in several other films. A young Irish lad inherits a fortune, providing he travels to New York to claim it within a certain period of time. But the boy is sick and dies en route to New York. In order to get the money, his sister Patricia (Davies) disguises herself as her brother. But this is just the start of her troubles…Find out more at moviessilently.com.  With live musical accompaniment by Morgan Cooke,  Barbican, London  Link

Earth (Dir. Oleksandr Dovzhenko, USSR 1930) (Screening format – not known, 75 mins) Earth, the final part of Dovzhenko’s silent trilogy, is undoubtedly the most famous and controversial movie of the Ukrainian Soviet silent film heritage. Full of lyrical pantheism and utopian exaltation, it demonstrated the ambiguity of Ukrainian geopolitical choice in the late 1920s. The simple plot tells the story of a small Ukrainian village on the eve of collectivisation. Vasyl, the leader of the activist youth, is trying to engage villagers into the collective farm movement while waiting for a technical miracle: a tractor, the forerunner of the new era. Finally, he ploughs a boundary separating the private plots from the collective ones. This enthusiasm costs Vasyl his life, but makes him a martyr – a necessary sacrifice for the new social order.  Although Earth fits the tradition of Soviet propaganda films, Dovzhenko’s interest in the human condition and its bond with nature takes the film beyond the propaganda realm. As told by Dovzhenko, an ordinary tale of a class struggle becomes a universal philosophical parable about life and death.  Criticised severely for its naturalism, the film was banned nine days after its release in the Soviet Union and was given a credit in Ukraine only after Dovzhenko’s death. Earth hit the headlines only in 1958, when the International Referendum in Brussels praised the film as one of the best 12 films in the history of cinema. It has been voted one of the top ten silent films by The Guardian and The Observer.  Find out more at sensesofcinema.com.  With live musical accompaniment by electro-improvisational group Grok.  Genesis Cinema, London  Link

Passion of Jon of Arc (Dir. Carl Theodore Dreyer, 1928) (Screening format – DCP, 82 mins)  In 1926 Danish film director Dreyer was invited to make a film in France by the Societe Generale des Films and chose to direct a film about Joan of Arc, due to her renewed popularity in France (having been canonised as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church in 1920 and subsequently adopted as one of the patron saints of France).  Apparently discarding a script provided by the Societe, Dreyer spent over a year researching Joan of Arc including study of the actual transcripts of her trial before producing a script of his own.  In the title role Dreyer cast the little-known stage actress Renee Jeanne Falconnetti who had previously acted in just two previous, inconsequential films, both back in 1917.  The film focuses upon the trial and eventual execution of Joan of Arc after she is captured by the English.  Although not a popular success at the time, the film attracted immediate critical praise.  The New York Times critic wrote “…as a film work of art, this takes precedence over anything so far produced.  It makes worthy pictures of the past look like tinsel shams.  It fills one with such intense admiration that other pictures appear but trivial in comparison.” Falconnetti’s performance has been widely lauded with critic Pauline Kael writing in 1982 that her portrayal “…may be the finest performance ever recorded on film.”  The film was subsequently re-edited against Dreyer’s wishes and his original version was long thought lost.  But in 1981 a near perfect copy was found in the attic of a psychiatric hospital in Oslo.  The Passion of Joan of Arc now regularly appears in ‘Top Ten’ lists not just of silent films but best films of all time.  Find out more at rogerebert.com . Being screened to mark the 90th anniversary of the film’s original release, with recorded soundtrack.  Prince Charles Cinema, London Link

The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (Dir. Alfred Hitchcock, UK, 1927) + The Scarecrow (Dir.Edward F Cline/Buster Keaton, US, 1920)  (Screening format – DVD, 91/19 mins ) In The Lodger, a serial killer known as “The Avenger” is on the loose in London, murdering blonde women. A mysterious man (Ivor Novello)  arrives at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Bunting looking for a room to rent. The Bunting’s daughter (June Tripp)  is a blonde model and is seeing one of the detectives (Malcolm Keen) assigned to the case. The detective becomes jealous of the lodger and begins to suspect he may be the avenger.  Based on a best-selling novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes, first published in 1913, loosely based on the Jack the Ripper murders,  The Lodger was Hitchcock’s first thriller, and his first critical and commercial success. Made shortly after his return from Germany, the film betrays the influence of the German expressionist tradition established in such films as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) and Nosferatu (1922). Find out more at silentfilm.org. In The Scarecrow, farmhands Buster Keaton and Joe Roberts are both in love with the same girl (Sybil Seely) but the girl’s father (Joe Keaton, Buster’s dad) is none too impressed with either of them. After being pursued by a supposedly mad dog and disguising himself as a scarecrow, Buster wins the girl in spite of himself but they then have to elude both Buster’s rival and the girl’s father in a madcap final chase.  Find out more at allmovie.com .   With live musical accompaniment by the Meg Morley Trio.  1901 Arts Club, Waterloo, London  Link

Brighton: Symphony Of A City (Dir. Lizzie Thynne, UK, 2015) + Le Voyage Dans la Lune (Trip to the Moon) (Dir. Georges Melies, Fr, 1902), (Screening format – not known, 48/13 mins).  The daily activities and extraordinary events in the seaside town of Brighton are evocatively captured in modern silent Brighton: Symphony Of A City,  wittily echoing the silent classic, Berlin Symphony of a City (1927). All-weather bathers plunge into winter seas at sunrise. Residents work, commute, flirt and play and do surprising things in their offices. Homelessness and gentrification collide; we glimpse forgotten attractions in sparkling amateur movies from Screen Archive South East. ‘Father Neptune’ is dunked in a raucous ritual from 1951; 1930s marchers celebrate the anniversary of the Soviet Union and modern protestors commemorate Gaza. The elegant ferris wheel, a contemporary icon destined for destruction, marks the passage of time. The day culminates in night-time revelry, astounding puppetry and the winter solstice festival, ‘The Burning of the Clocks’. A kaleidoscopic view of this unique seaside town, which evokes the past in the present and the extraordinary in the everyday. Brighton Symphony of a City was a Brighton Festival Commission for its 50th anniversary in 2016 where it premiered with a live performance of the score by the Orchestra of Sound and Light.  Find out more at brightonsymphony.com.    A Trip to the Moon  is a 1902 French adventure film inspired by a wide range of sources, including the works of novelist Jules Verne The film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore its surface, escape from an underground city of  lunar inhabitants and return to Earth.  Filmed in the overtly theatrical style which marked out Méliès work, the film remains the best-known of the hundreds of films made by Méliès, and is widely regarded as the earliest example of the  science fiction film genre and, more generally, as one of the most influential films in cinema history.  Find out more at filmsite.org.     Brighton: Symphony Of A City features a recorded score by composer Ed Hughes performed by the Orchestra of Sound and Light.  Duke of York’s Picture House, Brighton. Link

Chicago (Dir. Frank Urson & Cecil B.DeMille (uncredited),  1927) (Screening format – not known,   118mins )  Seventy-five years before Bob Fosse’s Oscar-winning musical version of Maurine Watkins’ successful stage play, Cecil B. DeMille’s production company made this saucy silent film version.  Phyllis Haver is hugely entertaining as the brazen Roxie Hart “Chicago’s most beautiful murderess” – a woman so pathologically shallow she sees notoriety for a murder rap as an opportunity to secure her fortune.  Egged on by her crooked lawyer (“they’ll be naming babies after you”) Roxie neglects her long-suffering loyal husband and sets about milking her celebrity status for all she’s worth.  The sequence in the prison is an absolute delight – particularly the rivalry between Roxie and fellow-murderess Velma (played by DeMille’s mistress), as are the climactic courtroom scenes.  A cracking, satire on fame and the media, this fun-filled tale of adultery, murder and sin (so sinful that DeMille – known for his Biblical epics – was at pains to keep his name off the credits) is as fresh and relevant as ever.  Find out more at wikipedia.org .   Presented by the Flea Pit Cinema.  With live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne and Martin Pyne.  Westerham Hall, Westerham, Kent Link

Piccadilly (Dir E A Dupont, UK, 1929) (Screening format – not known, 92 mins)  A film noir before the term was in use, uncredited German director E.A. Dupont’s Piccadilly is one of the true greats of British silent films, on a par with the best of Anthony Asquith or Alfred Hitchcock during this period. Valentine Wilmot (Jameson Thomas) owns a nightclub featuring dancers Mabel (Gilda Gray) and Vic (Cyril Ritchard). After a confrontation with Wilmot, Vic quits performing at the club. When the joint starts losing business, a desperate Wilmot hires former dishwasher Shosho (Anna May Wong) as a dancer. She is an instant hit and forms a rapport with Wilmot, which makes both Mabel and Shosho’s friend (King Ho Chang) jealous, leading to a mysterious murder.  A stylish evocation of Jazz Age London, with dazzlingly fluid cinematography and scenes ranging from the opulent West End to the seediness of Limehouse. One of the pinnacles of British silent cinema, Piccadilly is a sumptuous show business melodrama seething with sexual and racial tension – with an original screenplay by Arnold Bennett.  Find out more at screenonline.org.uk .  With live musical accompaniment by ex-Dexy Pete Saunders and preceded by a burlesque performance by the wonderfully named Marianne Cheesecake.  Presented by the Talkies Community Cinema at Waterhouse Hall Theatre, Southgate, London  Link

Shiraz (Dir. Franz Osten, 1928) (Screening format – DCP, 97mins)  Based on a play by Indian author Niranjan Pal, Shiraz tells the fictionalised love story of the 17th-century princess who inspired the construction of the Taj Mahal.  It was directed by Germany’s Franz Osten, one of at least 17 films he made in India between 1925 and 1939, best known of which are The Light of Asia (1925) and A Throw of Dice (1929).  Shot entirely on location in India with an all-Indian cast, it features lavish costumes and gorgeous settings – all the more impressive in this restoration by the BFI National Archive with specially-commisioned score. The film was the brainchild of producer Himansu Rai, who also stars as humble potter Shiraz, who follows his childhood sweetheart (Enakshi Rama Rau) when she’s sold by slave traders to the future emperor (Charu Roy).Upon its release Shiraz was a considerable critical and popular success and received rave reviews when the restored version was screened at last year’s London Film Festival.  Find out more at silentfilm.org.
