Romance set in France in which Swanson plays a hot-tempered provincial actress who gets entangled with a married diplomat. Wednesday, July 26 at 6 p.m.: 'Zaza' (1923) starring Gloria Swanson.This season's Leavitt Theatre silent film schedule features movies all celebrating their 100th anniversaries. And in an era with no special effects, Keaton's acrobatic talents enabled him to perform all his own stunts.In 1923, Keaton made the leap into full-length films with 'Our Hospitality,' which proved popular enough for him to continue making features for the rest of the silent era.Īlthough not all of Keaton's films were box office successes, critics later expressed astonishment at the sudden leap Keaton made from short comedies to the complex story and technical demands required for full-length features.
A remarkable pantomime artist, Keaton naturally used his whole body to communicate emotions from sadness to surprise.
