You’re welcome for the post and I enjoyed all of the photos you posted as well. Charles Farrell was one of the most handsome men ever on film and some modern screen idols pale in comparison when it comes to looks. I have some family which worked in the motion picture industry for decades and had heard that Farrell “swung both ways”. Seeing those good looks, I hope many men and women had the opportunity.

How sweet of you! Thanks a lot for your great work here on LPSG and that you are always honouring the Golden Silent Stars as well, they truly deserve it. All the young members may never have heard of them but the older ones and film buffs do. We will surely continue to post here. Best greetings from Munich is sending Ted

Hallo, freut mich, dass Du Charles Farrell auch so magst. Er ist auch der Hauptdarsteller in meinem liebsten Stummfilm SUNRISE, Ein toller Mann. Have fun with further pics on this thread because we never should stop to remind of the Golden Hollywood Era! Cheers- Ted
