"A Dozen Socks" (1927)

Dear Silent Hall of Fame Users:

You have come to this website, because you like silent films and silent movie stars. There are many places like this. But unlike other sites, here at Silent Hall of Fame you can make a real difference. You can help us show for the first time many films featuring your favorite silent stars that have not been seen in generations. This will bring their names back into the public discourse. But you can do much more than that: you can help your favorite silent stars receive belated recognition and glory.

Until now there has never been an organization with the purpose to place a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for movie personalities from a century ago. Silent Hall of Fame is this historic organization. Silent Hall of Fame is the only organization of its kind. We will make history and we invite you to become a part of history by sponsoring a silent movie star for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. All contributions are tax deductible.

Please use this button for a one-time donation. Use the button on the right-hand side for a recurring donation.

We have included this film in our program to illustrate the work and contributions of our star Alice Day.

"A Dozen Socks" is a Mack Sennett short comedy starring Alice Day. This film print is very rough and we are not able to take any pictures or make a slide show. Unfortunately very few of Alice Day's films survive, so let's be thankful for what we have and enjoy this short comedy. If someone has a copy of the film with better quality, please let us know.
