    Why did everyone assume that the dead woman had been murdered? Even when the first guy went to her room to retrieve the letters and saw her, she appeared to be peacefully asleep. No sign of violence, or a struggle, as the doctor later noted.

    @@suzieqwonder3089 I do not know about these three. However, great story about their contemporary, the enigmatic beauty Dorothy Mackaill. She was VERY big, mostly a major studio playerand getting rediscovered today, and Day was quite big in the silent era but I believe Mackaill was even more problem. Then she did a number talkies but left it all behind at a young age. 40's ? 50's? 30s? Well turns out she had made a fortune from Los Angeles real estate from her career earnings and so she could afford it to walk away and for. the last few decades of her life she lived at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu! Kings, Presidents , and other famous people have been staying there for decades. And Dot Mackaill. Some person wrote she loved dishing the dirt with the other posh ladies poolside at the Hotel, and enjoyed watching the pool boys ! Pretty good for a poor child from a shipbuilding town in England. Great story.

    Unfortunately, Marceline and Dorothy were “gray-listed” and reduced to minor roles and “B” pictures because they refused to sleep around. Both finally quit films while still young. Natalie had powerful friends and was able to stay in until around 1940. In those days, even married women were not safe from lecherous directors and producers. Leila Hyams, a super-star of the early 1930s, quit films for that reason. Luckily, she was married to a very wealthy agent. I don’t think any of those women, even those married several times, ever had any children. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Most of Europe has laws in line with my opinions. My wife’s views are actually more anti-abortion than mine. I also believe abortion is a necessary evil, and that is possibly why so many old time actresses were childless. This was long before sexual harassment laws and #MeToo. Even married women were expected to get on the casting couch unless the actress or her husband was very powerful professionally.

    What a weird one! The actor who played the police inspector had been a romantic lover in MANY silents. here, he has such a TERRIFIC, dramatic speaking voice. He passed away only 6 years later. His voice actually reminds me of some actor (no idea who) who did a ton of voice-acting things in cartoons decades later. The actor who turned out to be the killer, I'd seen in several things, including THE VAMPIRE BAT and WHITE ZOMBIE.

Husband should be a suspect, but Barton tells him go spend time with your wife, my old flame, it’ll “ease your conscience”. Then, Barton scolds Moreno for sneaking around to spend time with Moreno’s own wife to avoid them being blackmailed and sued for breach of promise. Did I get all that right? And Barton calls Miriam “Lillian”? Did we not have enough film for retakes? I actually love this. 😜

    There are two sound controls on your screen. Set the first one, in the lower left corner of the viewing area, to Full. Use the other, in the bottom right of the monitor screen, to adjust it from there. *You can get it THAT LOUD if you so desire.

    Just 8 minutes into this film and I can't decide whether the initial fast clip editing of The King Murder 1932 movie is genius or merely sloppy plot adjustment. Intriguing, yet also baffling. Perhaps I shall resume watching this early experiment in cinema, and then again perhaps not. There's really no grip upon the imagination so far, just some noticeable anomalies. We shall see, he said while contemplating his foot long ebony cigarette holder; yeah, that's what it is, a foot long cigarette holder approaching his pursed lips.

    It’s merely sloppy plot adjustment. Chesterfield wasn’t in the business of making art. They made films destined for the second half of the bill. Fast and cheap. They didn’t even have a studio. They rented space at Universal and RKO. You’re reading too much into this, pal.

    SuzieQ Was very fashionable in roaring 1920th - 30th for women to be skinny and flat chested, obviously we can see those gorgeous dresses draped those kind of figures perfectly. Women used tape around the chest to flatten their breasts .The hair, the body all resemble mythical angelic creatures. Also vegetarian diet was well known back then and there were vegetarian restaurants in big cities. So funny how things are changed and today men are paying for women's breasts augmentation and butt enhancement enabling vulgarity!
