Yes, I knew he was a ventriloquist. "The Great Gabbo" is also on the Kino dvd with "Blind Husbands". Since you have "Foolish Wives" on laser you might be interested to know that "Foolish Wives" is also out on dvd.By the way, I just bought the Kino's dvd release of "Queen Kelly" and am looking foreward to watching it in the next day or 2. It was "restored" in 1985". Once again von Stroheim gets carried away with his creative vision, and again he is fired before the film is completed. I am curious how well the alternate endings are presented on dvd. Particularly interesting since the original filming was being done with Swanson's money and this release is "Presented in Association with the Gloria Swanson Estate".

He had "the dummy you love to hate".
I saw a "restoration" of QK on laserdisc about ten years ago (don't kmow if it's the same one as on the new DVD. They used stills in many cases). I thought I had it in my collection but it's not there unless misfiled (possible: I moved about six months ago and the movers decided to totally mix up my 900 LD's). Let us know what you thought of the resotoration, please.How clever of the fim makers to use parts of QK in 1950's Sunset Boulevard. They had faces then...
All of the films listed in this thread are great.Here is a link to more information about silent films:
