Propaganda
Mary Philbin (Phantom of the Opera, The Man Who Laughs)— I must simply say I love Mary Loretta Philbin. She was known for her, in the words of Wikipedia, ethereal screen presence. In fact, Pat O' Malley says it best, "If I were superstitious I would think that the spirit of some great tragedienne of a forgotten past slipped into Mary's soul when she heard the camera begin to click." I first saw her in the Phantom of the Opera adaptation of 1925, where she plays a very interesting rendition of Christine Daae (I would argue a foundational performance, since this was the first mainstream portrayal of the character outside of Gaston Leroux's 1910 book) opposite Lon Chaney as the title character, and I Loved her performance, and ofc developed a bit of a crush on her. After her years in Hollywood, she stopped acting in 1930 and lived the rest of her life in relative peace. One fact that always stuck with me was the fact that later in her life, she very rarely made public appearances, but did in fact do so in order to attend the Los Angeles opening of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera. And if all that isn't enough to convince you, look at a photo of her. She is really, stunningly beautiful.
Sybil Seely (One Week, The Scarecrow)—The best Buster Keaton leading lady. Just so hot and sweet. Plus we see her shoulders in One Week, so risque too
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Sybil Seely:
Mary Philbin:
She is hot?
Shes just so cute
Mary Philbin started acting after winning a beauty contest hosted by Universal Pictures and went on to star in a number of films, including one of the most iconic silent horror films of her era, "the Phantom of the Opera". She also gave a sweet, heart-wrenching performance in "The Man Who Laughs" alongside Conrad Veidt.

Can we please stop making peter acearo just because you ran out of an idea? Or whatever. I love marauders celebs fanfics. And I found one with all of my favorite ships. Jily, Dorlene, Emmary, and wolfstar. But peter was acearo and I didn't get it. I mean if you genuinely hc peter as acero. Period. I love that. But if you do that cause you don't like him, and he don't deserve love because of what he did. Or because you're just too lazy to look up ships with peter. (Because he has ships. My personal one and favorite is with sybil. Which can be searched with Pebill or Seerstone.) Stop making young peter suffer cause of future actions. If you can ship Barty with people. You can ship peter with people.

the marauders eras girls are so important to me. I love the boys but honestly they don’t even hold a candle to the girls for me. there’s something so beautiful about our fandom coming together collectively to put a spotlight on female characters that were hardly acknowledged in the actual text. getting to add depth to these characters and making them even more special is everything to me.

ROUND 1 - GROUP A
Propaganda under the cut
Mary Keay
Like top ten worst women ever. Killed people. Killed someone when she was ten. Killed her husband. Bad mom. Came back from the dead (kinda). Sucks just kind of in general.
Sybil Forsyth
Despite claiming to simply be an old woman with unusual new-age hobbies, she is very clearly an actual witch. She knows a lot more about the supernatural things going on in Scarlet Hollow than anyone else, but she's keeping her cards close to her chest. Everyone goes to her when they need supernatural help, even some of the monsters.

Thomas, Sybil & Matthew would've been such a powerful and chaotic friendship. Everyone's reaction to seeing the three of them together the first time. Matthew and Sybil defending Thomas. The three of them sitting down and chatting. Matthew and Sybil constantly pulling Thomas away from work or saying they need Thomas for something. All of them talking about their love lives after Thomas opens up to them. The angst of Thomas being the last one standing.
