The Girl And His Trust (1912)
Doing a day of crime films over on my Scare Me site today for the Countdown, which is almost over (saaadd....), thought I'd post a crime melodrama from the king of melodrama himself: D. W. Griffith.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
I was busy with Christmas Evening wrapping yesterday that I didn't get my last day's countdown to Christmas up...heck I didn't even have time for email! So I'm doubling up today
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
The first film is a funny little silent film I found on You Tube. It proves that not all silent movies need to be really old!
This next "movie" is a clip of numerous Christmas silents from all sorts of sources. Have a Merry one, one and all!

Countdown To Christmas Day 3
A CHRISTMAS ACCIDENT (1912)
Yet another Edison Christmas short. It's a little funny, the one earliest Edison Christmas short from 1907 that I'd really like to present here has never been uploaded to You Tube, even though, arguably, it as a great deal more charm than do many of the company's later Holiday efforts. This film, however, is quite charming and not directed by the rather "true to life" stark style original in-house director Edwin S. Porter, but rather by a later Edison hire: Bannister Merwin, who was primarily a writer. Hope you enjoy.

More violent and hilarious slapstick, this time from Mack Sennett and comedic "fubble bum" Harry Langdon--with soldiers and criminals to boot!

The Midnight Girl (1925)
It's a silent melodrama from 1925 with Lugosi! Not the best movie in the world by any means, but it is at least of historical interest...and hey it has BELA!
