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.

Help needed to translate Dutch, German and Russian titles into English

We request the help of bilingual users. We have in our possession rare films made in the USA that have been preserved in foreign archives and do not have English titles. If you are fluent in any of the above languages and in English and would like to make a contribution to Silent Hall of Fame, please contact us.

 

Please Help Us Find These Films

These are all films that we haven't been able to track down, but they have user ratings in IMDB and/or are known to have been in distribution, so the assumption is that they exist somewhere in private collections.  If you have a video file or a DVD, or a VHS, or 8/16/28/35 mm with any of these films, please share it with us so that we can show the film to the silent movie lovers of the world.  You will make a valuable contribution to Silent Hall of Fame and will help one of our silent movie stars receive belated recognition and glory.  We will give you a credit for your contribution by stating your name for all to see, with special thanks.  In addition, if you send us an original copy of the film as a donation, you may be able to reduce your taxes on your next year's tax return.

It is worth noting here that only because a particular film has user ratings in IMDB that doesn't mean that it exists, or that it has been seen in the last few decades.  Such is the case with The Big City (1928) and  London After Midnight (1927), both starring Lon Chaney and Marceline Day.  The last known copies of both films were lost in a MGM fire in 1967.  However, it is possible that these two and many other films may still be found in private collections.

It is also possible to find rare films locally. Please visit your neighborhood video store that offers classic and silent films, take the List of Rare Films with you and check if they have any of them available.  If you are able to locate any of these rare movies you will make a valuable contribution to Silent Hall of Fame and help your favorite silent movie star receive better recognition.  We will give you a special thanks and post your name for all to see and admire.

 

Here are a two examples of why we believe that many of these films can be located:

1/ a 16 mm or 8 mm film of The Way of the Strong (1928) was available in the 1970ies and 1980ies from a company called Kit Parker Films. So for a period of time it was in circulation and people did buy it.  This is why we believe that with the help of our users we can find this film.

2/ 16 mm or 8 mm films of The Wife's Relations (1928) and The New Teacher (1922) were available in the 1970ies and 1980ies from a company called Mogull's Films. We hope that someone will share these films with us.


Of course, you can also contribute any other silent films featuring our stars, which we currently don't stream and are not listed on this page. We would also welcome films featuring other silent personalities, especially those movies that have survived only in private collections and have been unavailable to the public.  As far as the films that we stream are concerned, if you have  film copies with better quality than the ones that we have on the site, please share them with us.

We will be adding many more currently unavailable and rare films, so please check back often.  You can download a printable file with these movies by clicking on this List of Rare Films

Here is a very efficient way to help Silent Hall of Fame:

Many major employers have programs that match their employees' donations to charitable organizations like Silent Hall of Fame. Such employers are big banks like Bank of America and US Bank, and large companies such as Chevron, Microsoft, etc. If you work for one of these employers and you donate to Silent Hall of Fame your tax-deductible contribution will be doubled and will go a long way towards helping your favorite silent star to receive better public recognition. Here is a list of Companies that Match Donations and/or Volunteer Hours.


Marceline-Day-in-Under-the-Black-Eagle-1928-5

    Marceline Day and Flash

    An archive in the Netherlands has the only copy in the world of the film "Under the Black Eagle" (1928) in the form of the original nitrate reels, and has asked for $8,000 to make a digital copy on DVD.  The film has not been seen by the classic film lovers in 85 years. We need your help to acquire this and many other films so that we can show them to the classic film loving public.

 

Dear Silent Hall of Fame users,

    Silent Hall of Fame invites all classic film lovers to see our award-winning documentary.
    The purpose of the film is to let the public know about Silent Hall of Fame and its efforts to restore the legacy and bring belated recognition to distinguished silent film personalities who have not been rewarded with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
    We envision this film as the initial step that will bring the mission of Silent Hall of Fame to a broader audience and gain more supporters. We intend to create a feature biographical documentary in the near future, as soon as the necessary funds become available.
    You can become a part of this effort by making a tax-deductible contribution to help your favorite silent star receive belated recognition and glory.

 

FOR PHILANTHROPISTS: YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL FOR THE SUCCESS OF OUR MISSION

    Silent Hall of Fame is a young and energetic nonprofit organization, which runs this website for the public benefit and in the public interest. We have very limited volunteer staff, but serve users around the world.

    Silent Hall of Fame is unique. It is the only place where we actively work to bring the names and legacy of formerly illustrious, but unrewarded with proper recognition silent stars back from oblivion and strive to bring them belated fame and respect. Our ultimate goal is to place a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for all silent movie personalities featured on this website.

    We also fight for your right, the right of the public, to see silent masterpieces that have been kept in hidden vaults for far too long.  We have located hundreds of films featuring our stars that we want to show you for free on our website.

    To cover our minimum expenses for rent, utilities, servers, website maintenance and support, gas, postage, office supplies and various fees we need about $15,000 annually.

    We further need funding for our program expenses such as movie acquisition fees, copyright check fees, access fees and transfer fees.  We need your generous support to bring out into the open and show to the public many silent films-masterpieces that are available in archives around the world and wait to be reconnected with the classic film lovers after many decades.  Some films cost a few hundred dollars, others cost thousands of dollars - you can find examples in the pages "What We Do" and "How You Can Help".

    We also need funding for our ultimate goal - to place a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for the stars of Silent Hall of Fame.  We do believe that they deserve this recognition for their outstanding contributions to the Motion Pictures industry, the country and the world.  Each nomination currently costs $30,000, which is the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce fee.  Again, we are all volunteers, we do not get paid salaries but give our hearts out to bring belated recognition to these amazing silent stars.

    We can't succeed without your help.  If you share our vision and noble purpose, please support our efforts.  All contributions are tax deductible.  Apart from cash donations, Silent Hall of Fame is also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts.  We accept any non-cash contributions in the form of securities, jewelry, art, real property, vehicles, as well as music, film and book royalties.

     You can verify our tax exempt and Public Charity status by checking the IRS Business Master File of organizations eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions here.  If you have any questions for us, please do not hesitate to send us a message through the "Contact Us" page.

    When you make a contribution to Silent Hall of Fame you will obtain many tangible and intangible benefits, such as:

  1/ You support a worthy cause and you get the moral satisfaction of helping your favorite silent movie star to receive belated recognition and glory.
  2/ All contributions are tax deductible, so you can reduce your taxes.
  3/ When our star gets a place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame his or her name will become history forever, and so will the contributors who have supported their nomination.  Silent Hall of Fame can make public the list of donors and etch their names in history as well.

    If you are a private philanthropist, who likes to support worthy causes, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Silent Hall of Fame.  You may remain anonymous if you so desire.

    If you are a successful private business with philanthropic programs for charitable giving, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Silent Hall of Fame.

    If you are a private foundation giving grants to tax-exempt public charities, please consider inviting  Silent Hall of Fame to apply for a grant and receive your support.

    If you are a public charity and have funds for charitable giving, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Silent Hall of Fame.

Here is a very efficient way to help Silent Hall of Fame:

Such employers are big banks like Bank of America and US Bank, and large companies such as Chevron, Microsoft, etc. If you work for one of these employers and you donate to Silent Hall of Fame your tax-deductible contribution will be doubled and will go a long way towards helping your favorite silent star to receive better public recognition. Here is a list of Companies that Match Donations and/or Volunteer Hours.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FILMS KEPT IN ARCHIVES IN THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD

     As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the legacy of our stars we seek to recover their rare films from archives in the USA and round the world. We are happy to report that as a result of our extensive research we have found hundreds of films featuring our stars.  All these films are waiting to be reconnected with the public after many, many years.  Most of the movies have not been seen by any silent movie lovers for three or four generations.
    You can help us acquire these films and show them on our website with your tax-deductible contribution.  This will help your favorite silent movie personalities receive better public recognition, and in the future, improve their chances to get a nomination for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Because none of these films are available for viewing anywhere else, this will also help your favorite website, Silent Hall of Fame, become really unique in the quest to bring back from oblivion the names of your favorite silent movie stars.
    Here are some of the films that we located in archives that currently are not available for viewing anywhere.  We want to show them to you, the classic movie lovers of the world:

His New York Wife (1926) featuring our star Alice Day,
Fools of Fashion (1926) featuring our star Marceline Day,
The Black Horse Bandit (1919)  featuring our star Helen Gibson,
Life in the Balance (1915) featuring our star Helen Holmes,
Her Shattered Idol (1915) featuring our star Robert Harron,
Her Child's Honor (1911) featuring our stars Florence Lawrence and Arthur V. Johnson,
Queen of the Moulin Rouge (1922)  featuring our star Martha Mansfield,
Baby Mine (1917) featuring our star John S. Robertson,
The Deerslayer (1913) featuring our star Florence Turner,
Everybody's Sweetheart (1920) featuring our star Olive Thomas,
War and the Woman (1917) featuring our star Florence La Badie,
The Lady of the Photograph (1917) featuring our star Shirley Mason,
Tropical Nights (1928) featuring our star Patsy Ruth Miller.


In case some of you are wondering why some reviews have films but other don't, here is an explanation:

1/ we cannot show you those films that are lost or destroyed, probably forever.  In these cases we show you in a slide all available stills that have survived, and include whenever possible, contemporary reviews of the films telling details about what actually happens.  Examples of such lost films are "The Big City" (1928), "The Barrier" (1926), "The Boy Friend" (1926), "The Road to Romance" (1927) and many others.

2/ we cannot show you those films that although surviving and available are still copyrighted.  Examples of such films are "The Wind" (1928), "Captain Salvation" (1927), "He Who Gets Slapped" (1924), "The Smart Set" (1928) and many others.

3/ we cannot show you those films that although surviving are unavailable, because companies and institutions keep them locked. Examples of such films are "Rookies" (1927) and "Detectives" (1928), which Warner Bros. keeps locked in a vault and refuses to give us a copy, and "College Days" (1926), which is locked in UCLA.

4/ we cannot show you those films that although surviving are unavailable, because they exist only in the form of the original reels and transferring them to a DVD costs a lot of money.  Some are abroad and some are in the USA. Here is just one example: Holland has the film "Under The Black Eagle" (1928).  They have a nitrate film and want 6,000 Euros ($8,000) to make a DVD copy.  

If you want to help us show you more silent masterpieces, please make a tax-deductible contribution.

INFORMATION ABOUT FILMS KEPT IN ARCHIVES IN THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD

    As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the legacy of our stars we seek to recover their rare films from dusty archives in the USA and round the world. We are happy to report that as a result of our extensive research we have found about 200 films featuring our stars.  All these films are waiting to be reconnected with the public after many, many years.  Most of the movies have not been seen by any silent movie lovers for three or four generations.
    You can help us acquire these films and show them for free on our website with your tax-deductible contribution.  This will help your favorite silent movie personality to receive better public recognition, and in the future, improve its chances to get a nomination for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Because none of these films are available for viewing anywhere else, this will also help your favorite website, Silent Hall of Fame, to become really unique in the quest to bring back from oblivion the names of your favorite silent movie stars.

Dear Silent Hall of Fame users,

    Silent Hall of Fame invites all classic film lovers to see our award-winning documentary.
    The purpose of the film is to let the public know about Silent Hall of Fame and its efforts to restore the legacy and bring belated recognition to distinguished silent film personalities who have not been rewarded with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
    We envision this film as the initial step that will bring the mission of Silent Hall of Fame to a broader audience and gain more supporters. We intend to create a feature biographical documentary in the near future, as soon as the necessary funds become available.
    You can become a part of this effort by making a tax-deductible contribution to help your favorite silent star receive belated recognition and glory.

 

We are asking our users to help us find some rare films so that we can show them for free on our website.  The list of films that we are looking for is posted under the Free Movies top menu item in an article entitled Help Us Find These Films

 

PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION

We have started a new petition and we need your help to obtain many silent films that have not been seen in a century and show them to you for free.

The UCLA keeps locked in their archives many quality silent films featuring our stars Billy Bitzer, Alice Day, Marceline Day, Snitz Edwards, Helen Gibson, Robert Harron, Helen Holmes, Jack Hoxie, Arthur V. Johnson, Florence La Badie, Florence Lawrence, Shirley Mason, John S. Robertson, Patsy Ruth Miller and Florence Turner. These films have not been seen by the classic movie lovers in almost a century. 

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO THE UCLA TO RELEASE COPIES OF THE RARE FILMS TO SILENT HALL OF FAME OR MAKE THESE FILMS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ANY OTHER WAY THEY DEEM APPROPRIATE.

Our earlier petition to the George Eastman House for 33 rare silent films is still active.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO THE GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE TO RELEASE COPIES OF RARE FILMS TO SILENT HALL OF FAME OR MAKE THESE FILMS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ANY OTHER WAY THEY DEEM APPROPRIATE.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FILMS KEPT IN ARCHIVES IN THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD

     As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the legacy of our stars we seek to recover their rare films from dusty archives in the USA and round the world. We are happy to report that as a result of our extensive research we have found hundreds of films featuring our stars.  All these films are waiting to be reconnected with the public after many, many years.  Most of the movies have not been seen by any silent movie lovers for three or four generations.
    You can help us acquire these films and show them for free on our website with your tax-deductible contribution.  This will help your favorite silent movie personalities receive better public recognition, and in the future, improve their chances to get a nomination for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Because none of these films are available for viewing anywhere else, this will also help your favorite website, Silent Hall of Fame, become really unique in the quest to bring back from oblivion the names of your favorite silent movie stars.
    Here are some of the films that we located in archives that currently are not available for viewing anywhere.  We want to show them to you, the classic movie lovers of the world:

His New York Wife (1926) featuring our star Alice Day,
Fools of Fashion (1926) featuring our star Marceline Day,
The Black Horse Bandit (1919)  featuring our star Helen Gibson,

Update - 12/08/2013.

Important news about the film "College Days" (1926)

The UCLA has promised to make the film available for free until the end of 2014.  We thank all those viewers who signed the petition and helped this happen.

In particular, the UCLA writes:

"...understanding that there is a significant demand in the public for this title, we will promise to make the film available for free for streaming on our website within a year."

Update - 04/0//2015

The UCLA will not make this, or any other film available to us as we hoped. The UCLA has instituted a policy of charging $5,000 for any feature film that they have in their possession. You can help bring silent films out of archives, where they have been kept for generations away from the classic film lovers, by signing THE PETITION TO THE UCLA.

 

UPDATE:

We discovered in a French archive the only copies in the world of two extremely rare films starring Olive Thomas - Indiscreet Corinne and The Spite Bride.  The French want $6,000 to digitize them and send us a copy.  These two films are not available in the US and have not been seen in close to a century.  We have the unique opportunity to acquire these rare films and show them to you on our website. You can help us achieve this goal with your tax-deductible contribution. 

 

Our initial search for lost or unavailable films included 30 titles from the last 5 years of the Silent Age (1925-1929).  We have considerably narrowed down the unknowns.  These are the results that we can report:

    • We know that a firm in Paris, France has a nitrate copy of the film The Wall Street Whiz (1925).  We don't know if we will be able to buy a copy and show it on our website, because they only mention "serious amounts of money", without quoting a number.
    • We know that the British Film Institute has Fools of Fashion (1926), but refuses to make a copy for us.  We don't know if we will be able to buy a copy and show it on our website.  We have asked the Library of Congress for help to repatriate a copy of this film.  We have also asked our users to help us by writing to the Library of Congress.
    • We know that The Dutch Film Institute has the film Under The Black Eagle (1928).  They have a nitrate film and want 6,000 Euros ($8,000) to make a DVD copy.  We don't know if we will be able to obtain a copy and show it on our website.  We have asked the Library of Congress for financial help; if we don't receive such assistance, other priorities may prevent us from paying such amount of money for one film.
    • We know that Warner Bros. has another critically acclaimed film - Rookies (1927), but they refuse to make a copy for us, although they don't intend to release a DVD to the public.  We don't know if we will be able to acquire a copy and show it on our website.  We have asked our users to help us by writing to Warner and urging them to either release the film on DVD or license the film to Silent Hall of Fame so that we can show it on our website.
    • We know that Warner Bros. has another film - Detectives (1928). Same story as for Rookies (1927).
    • We know that the Library of Congress has the film The Jazz Age (1929), and they are ready to make a copy.  We don't know when we will be able to buy a copy, because undetermined copyright issues with Warner have blocked the process.  The cost to buy a copy and show it on our website will be around $1,200. You can help us achieve this goal with your tax-deductible contribution.
    • We know that the Library of Congress has the film Trent's Last Case (1929), and they are ready to make a copy for Silent Hall of Fame.  The cost to buy the film and show it on our website will be around $1,200. You can help us achieve this goal with your tax-deductible contribution.

Apart from finding these 9 films, we obtained information about other films, which clarifies what is available and what is not, and corrects wrong information in the FIAF database and other sources about these films.

    • Freedom of the Press (1928) - Italy has only the trailer.
    • The Road to Romance (1927) - New Zealand has only 16 seconds of opening titles.  We also know that Warner does not have any footage available of this film.
    • The Big City (1928) - UCLA has only the trailer.
    • Stolen Love (1928) - the Library of Congress had it listed as available in their archive; upon our inquiry it turned out that that listing was a mistake.
    • London After Midnight (1927) - we know that Warner does not have any footage available of this film.
    • A Certain Young Man (1928) - we know that Warner does not have any footage available of this film.
    • A Single Man (1929)  - we know that Warner does not have any footage available of this film.

Thus, we were able to obtain information about 17 of the 30 films in our initial research - a 57% success rate.

We have a strong and resourceful team, which is constantly finding new ways to find lost films and bring them to you, the user, absolutely free.  Just recently our Vice President came up with a brilliant idea, which, when realized, will enable Silent Hall of Fame to show you another forgotten masterpiece free on our website.

We believe that we are on the right track, because our efforts for finding lost films are bringing results.  We have asked you, the users, to help us with suggestions which other films not available on DVD you would like us to look for in domestic and international archives.  We have also asked you, the users, to help us with your financial support so that we can continue our mission and bring more silent masterpieces from the forgotten vaults to the public, where they belong.
