I adore Marion Davies. Don't you? I must admit, Show People is one of my favorite silent films (along with each of Louise Brooks' silent films, of course).
Here is another worthwhile Kickstarter project: to buy, edit, and score the 1922 Marion Davies' film, Beauty's Worth, and get it back into circulation. I have contributed to past campaigns for reviving rare Davies films, and would like to encourage everyone to do so. And, knowing how much Brooks loved watching old films and appreciated knowing Davies ever so long ago, I think she would have donated to this project. Don't you?
This project is to fund the purchase of a 35MM print of Beauty's Worth
(1922) from the Library of Congress, edit the film, and add a
professional music score. The film is in the public domain and is one of
hundreds of silent films preserved in archives or in private
collections, unseen by the vast majority of film buffs and historians. More information HERE.
