Hello All:

I was hoping some of you might enjoy looking at this vintage stills and maybe recognize the stars and/or name the film titles of these stills. Thanks!

The guy on the left in number 8 looks like Alfred Lunt, this could be BACKBONE (1923), he made only a handful of silent films.

From the still code on number 3, that may be BROKEN CHAINS (Goldwyn 1922), but I do not recognize either woman.

Over at Nitratevile, still number 1 is from a Buck Jones Fox feature from the mid-20's directed by W.S.Van Dyke, but I don't have the still codes handy for these. Most likely it is THE GENTLE CYCLONE (1926) Jones is at right, the guy in the middle is definitely not Raymond Hatton.

Number 2 , the actor is Raymond McKee.

Number 5, the actor foreground is indeed Roland Young, the actor behind is definitely not Hobart Bosworth.

number 6, the picture of the man with the glasses and the butler is from THE ACQUITTAL (Universal 1923)

number 6 or 7, whichever number is the one with Marion Davies is from ZANDER THE GREAT (1925)

Pictures 8 and 9 are definitely from THE SEA LION (1921) with Hobart Bosworth and Bessie Love, I have a print of this.

Is the woman on this page in #5 (kneeling with the two children) Norma Talmadge?

Bob Birchard needs to get his glasses out, the stillcode on nitratevile picture number 6 is 3977, not 3979, it's from THE ACQUITTAL (1923). The actor playing the Butler on the right is Ben Deeley.
