A Silent Cinema Double Bill

In The Red Lily (1924-81 min.), circumstance separates two lovers, leading Jean Leonnec (Ramon Novarro) to a life of thievery and making Marise La Nove (Enid Bennett) a fallen woman. Director Fred Niblo also scripted.

After a brief intermission, the comedy The Red Mill (1927-74 min.) finds downtrodden Dutch barmaid Tina (Marion Davies) falling in love with Irish playboy Dennis (Owen Moore). Credited director William Goodrich is actually comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. Both films are silent with musical scores.
