Scott Lord Silent Film: Mary Pickford in Rosita (Ernst Lubitsch, 1923)

1 Share


While the film was in theaters, the periodical Moving Picture World headlined, "'Rosita' a Pictorial Gem, Marks Epic in Filmmaking". It began with alluding to the importance of casting actors in the star system as part of the audience expectations within a specific developing genre, perhaps genre system or matrix. "Mary Pickford has grown up. Sans curls and childish mannerisms, which earned her the title of 'America's Sweetheart' and with the aid of the wonderful directorial talents of Ernest Lubitsch, she had given us in 'Rosita' a pictorial gem which will go a long way toward making an epoch in filmmaking."
The nine reel film was photographed by Charles Rosher and scripted by Edward Knoblock.

Our Fifteenth Anniversary

1 Share
I'm busy with our anniversary, we've already been to both Boston and Cambridge, but when I'm not busy and can write I have a corner that overlooks the skyline. (Boston for breakfast, Cambridge for lunch, I have a way of thanking her for her company by telling her there were 180 dates of that type in downtown Boston, not counting Sunday mornings.) Donna is Christian and I'm not Buddhist, or rather I haven't studied enough comparative religion- its superficial to say I'm of Kerouac's background but not quite his area- but still, its my writing corner with a superfantastic view. We did get a present, our friend and my mentor who was a surf champion (he was the goofy foot that defeated Midget Farrelly if you happen to be from Malibu....I'm hoping he makes surf hall of fame.) told Donna the story of his sailing to Honolulu on a custom built katamaran, which was a nice addition to our celebrating. The pointsettia in the middle was a gift from Donna's friend. Thank you Donna for fifteen years of living together and being my "superfantastic" girlfriend. Scott Lord
