Carlotta Monterey as Mary Blair and Louis Wolheim as Bob "Yank" Smith in The Hairy Ape, 1922. Monterey replaced Mildred Douglas and met playwright Eugene O'Neill during the production of "The Hairy Ape." She later married him.
Yank Smith is an engine stoker on an ocean liner, and very confident in his power over the ship's engines and his men. When passenger Mary Blair, the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, refers to him as a "hairy ape," he is first outraged, but then begins to brood over it and question his place in the world. He leaves the ship and wanders into Manhattan, only to find he does not belong anywhere—neither with the socialites on Fifth Avenue, nor with the labor organizers on the waterfront. In a fight for social belonging, Yank's mental state disintegrates into animalistic, and in the end he is defeated by an ape in which Yank's character has been reflected. The Hairy Ape is a portrayal of the impact industrialization and social class has on the dynamic character Yank.
In her review of the play Dorothy Parker wrote of "the power of this curious, brutal, fantastic play of the soul of a stoker. One is ashamed to place neat little bouquets of praise on this mighty conception of O'Neill's. It is like smiling tolerantly at the ocean, and saying, "Very pretty indeed."

Louis Wolheim and John Barrymore in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (John S. Robertson, 1920)
Cast: John Barrymore, Brandon Hurst, Martha Mansfield, Charles Lane, Cecil Clovelly, Nita Naldi, Louis Wolheim. Screenplay: Clara Beranger, based on a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Cinematography: Roy F. Overbaugh. Art direction: William Cameron Menzies, Clark Robinson.
Almost from the moment that Robert Louis Stevenson published his novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in 1886, theatrical producers were snapping it up for adaptation. It was a great vehicle for ham actors who relished the transformation scenes, as long as it could be spiced up a little with a little sex -- the novella is more interested in the psychology of Jekyll/Hyde than in the lurking-horror and damsels-in-distress elements added to most stage and screen versions. There were several film versions before John Barrymore, the greatest of all ham actors, took on the role in 1920. It's an adaptation by Clara Beranger of the first major stage version by Thomas Russell Sullivan, who added a central damsel in distress as Jekyll's love. She's called Millicent Carewe (Martha Mansfield) in the film, which also adds a "dance hall girl" named Gina (Nita Naldi) to the mix. Mansfield is bland and Naldi is superfluous, though rather fun to watch when she goes into her "dance," which consists of a lot of hip-swinging and arm-waving. Barrymore, however, is terrific, giving his transformation into Hyde everything he's got in the way of contortions of face and body. Though the screenplay makes much of the distinction between the virtuous Jekyll and the dissolute Hyde, Barrymore manages to suggest the latency of Hyde in Jekyll even before he swallows the sinister potion -- a reversion to Stevenson's original, in which Jekyll is not quite the upstanding fellow the adaptations tried to make him.

Nothing New in the West (1930) - film review
Sometimes everything in production, from the script to the first cinema screening, happens very quickly. In this case, a monument was even created to a film classic that has cast a long shadow on other projects for almost 100 years and defined the war film genre. NOTHING NEW IN THE WEST is the first major anti-war film from Hollywood. It is based on the 1928 novel by Erich Maria Remarque. Shortly…

Shh “All Quiet on the Western Front” is a knockout. Since it’s original release back in 1930 and even today. The first of great anti-war movies and expressionism after the First World War and those of today. Milestone’s direction is great, but the performances is where it’s at. Lew Ayers and Louis Wolheim are a great duo including the supporting cast. Bravest thing to do is fight the system that wants you die.

Christmas Eve at the Italian Villa (V.2)
Note: this is a second take of the christmas fic i wrote last year. i hope things clear up. i will also update it on Ao3.
Dorothy Sebastian drove herself on the streets of Hollywood. She stopped on account of the red light to look at the wreaths hung on every lamppost. Dorothy loved the holiday season. She would fill up a taxi cab with gifts and deliver them through Hollywood; when she had enough money. When she got the invitation from Buster and Natalie to come over to their villa to help decorate their Christmas tree with their friends, she was happy to be included. However, Dorothy believed it would be a dumb idea to come along since she and Buster were romantically involved.
Sebastian was worried that his wife would make a scene by asking her questions like, ‘Are you having an affair with my husband?’ or something like that. Buster had confided in Dorothy in the past that Natalie was usually the jealous type and would be unlikely to berate them in front of 7-8 people and that Buster was trying to keep his affairs discreet.
The car reached his mansion in Beverly Hills at 8 in the evening. Dorothy saw William Haines and Marceline Day enter the Mansion before she parked the car in the garage with the others. She picked up a medium box from her car and carried it to the door. The one who greeted the guests was Constance Talmadge. “Dorothy!” Constance called upon seeing the dark-haired actress. “So good to see you!”
Marceline waved to her, “I didn’t think you would show up after…. You know.” Marceline didn't continue the sentence. Dorothy frowned being reminded that she had a nervous breakdown after being testified in the tax evasion case and the stock market crash over a month ago. “How are you feeling?” Marceline asked.
“I’m doing better, thank you,” she replied before the youngest Talmadge woman let her in.
Dorothy was led to the sitting room where she brought the attention of the rest of the guests, out of pity for her mental health. The tree wasn’t up in the room, but there were stockings already hung by the fireplace with the initials embroidered to represent each family member; B, N, J, and R.
Dorothy and Marceline talked about working with Buster Keaton. “Spite marriage was going to be a talking picture, but MGM couldn’t do it.” Dorothy said, “At least they’re going to make him a talkie now.”
“On cameraman, the original ending had Buster smiling at the parade but nobody thought it was right so it was changed.” the women both agreed his smile was warm.
“I was going to be his leading lady in Three Ages, but Schenck didn’t want two stars leading the film and my sister Nate didn’t like the idea so instead, they cast a British beauty pageant winner that Norma and I chose.”
Shortly after Dorothy put down the box, Buster came into the room with his wife. “Buster and I are glad you all could make it,” Natalie announced.
Buster followed, "Don't worry if this interferes with your holiday plans. It won't take too much time when we all do our part."
Natalie passed out the overalls for the ladies, and Buster gave the men green aprons. “The boys are asleep upstairs so please no loud noises,” she warned them.
The moment the guests put them on over their clothes, they start to work. Louis Wolheim, whose rugged appearance differs from his personality helped the male guests carry the tree from the truck through the hall.
Keaton and Norma blew the string of balloons. Dorothy was passing the ornaments to Marceline to have her hang them on each branch.
Someone at the party hung a mistletoe on the arch at the opening of the room. Norma and Gilbert were surprised to notice the mistletoe and kissed right there.
Dorothy brought out the candy canes from her box and placed them on each stocking.
Everyone sang as they decorated the room, including John Gilbert, who didn’t care if his voice was good or not.
After work was done, the sitting was full of Christmas spirit. Everyone removed their aprons and overalls and sat down to relax. Dorothy smiled at the decorations that they hung up. They dazzled the room quite well. They were proud of what they had done. When she looked at Buster, it seemed to her that he felt the same.
Someone heard small footsteps. A concerned Natalie turned to relief when it was only the family dog. She and Buster came to pick it up. Constance noted they were standing under the mistletoe. They both looked up; she was right. Dorothy frowned at what they were about to do. It was to their humor that the dog began licking at Buster’s cheek since he was the one holding it. “No seriously,” Constance was unsatisfied. Natalie gave Buster a quick kiss.
It was the first time Dorothy saw him kiss his wife. Sure it lacked emotion compared to their offscreen affair behind the scenes. They would visit each other’s dressing rooms discreetly and she spend the night at his bungalow until she had to leave before everybody else woke up. When it comes to onscreen kissing in Spite Marriage, Buster objected to them. He didn't want his wife to see them kiss.
It was near the end of the party, Buster moved next to Dorothy. His hand ejected from his pocket to sneak into her hand. Dorothy realized he had slipped her a note. She excused herself from the room to unfold the tiny piece of paper. It said, ‘I want to see you in private, meet me outside the east wing. In 10 minutes I will knock on the door, knock back.’
While the guests were leaving the Villa, Dorothy sneaked to where the note had instructed her. She waited by the entrance until she heard a few knocks from inside, then she repeated his knocks.
Buster immediately opened the door and hugged her, “I’m glad to see you again, Dorothy. I’m sorry to hear about your nervous breakdown. Are you alright now?”
“I am but the ’20s were a bit hard for me.”
“Darling, I’ve been through worse. I had a studio where I made films whatever I wanted to. After MGM, they won’t let me direct, and the worst part is that they took away my creative input starting with the next picture.”
“I know dear, I know,” she held his hand in empathy.
“Well, it wasn’t all bad. At least I met you,” Buster smiled.
“I’m glad I met you too,” she followed his expression
“Close your eyes.”
She obeyed him, and at his command, she opened them to see his arm raised. Dorothy looked up to see that Buster held a piece of mistletoe above her. Her smile became more bashful. He kissed her. She rested her hands on his cheeks to secure the liplock.
Their lips parted, and Dorothy’s face blushed, “Merry Christmas Dorothy.”
“Merry Christmas Buster.”
I hope you enjoy this retake! happy holidays
