I once again forgot to read the TABS because Martini's gif was so fascinating and I did not recognize the silent film it came from. Ran straight to her explanation then started reading the non comments. Then someone mentioned one of the tabs and oops, ran back to read them.
I did not realize that only 3 of Nazimova's films had survived. So many films lost from that era. Obviously not all of the films made at that time were great pieces of art but it is sad to think of the films that are gone. Thanks Martini for a glimpse of the past.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! The most delicious design, crystal clear storytelling. This my first real exposure to Nazimova. Awesome!
The TABS lettering tickled me. Thanks MG!
Thank *you* for the wonderful feedback, William!
Ta, Martini. What a herstory!
MartiniG! Brava! I like Art History here at Wonkette U.!

Whenever I hear a movie from that era did not survive, I have to assume it burst into flames.
I don't know what my point was, except maybe to give a little boost to my internal pyromaniac.
Mary Pickford she wasn't.
Silent movies were visual poetry.
