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.

    "The Prisoner of Zenda" is a drama, adventure, romance and a swashbuckler.

    On the eve of his coronation the king of Ruritania is drugged by his evil conspiring half-brother, who wishes the throne for himself.  By a trick of circumstance at this time a king's cousin is on a visit from England.  This distant relative happens to look very much like the incapacitated king, and is called upon to fill in for him during the ceremony.  Now the evil brother has a problem: he has to eliminate not one, but two rivals for the throne.

    The love woes of two good-looking women, the intrigues and the sword fights provide abundant drama and entertainment.

    Lewis Stone plays two roles in the film - the king and the visiting cousin.

    Snitz Edwards plays Josef the butler, who gives his life protecting his beloved king.
