Rating:  - A wonderful and impressive collection!
This collection of seven excellent short silent films from the years 1911 to 1915 is extremely interesting and enjoyable to watch, and as good as other well-known films of that time such as by D.W.

Thanhouser was the MGM of the l900s in that budding new invention: flickers. In these movie shorts, you're presented with a time capsule that captures America ... Read More
Rating: - A Real Eye Opener For Silent Film Buffs.

I had heard of Thanhouser before but I knew nothing about them and I had not seen any of their movies. The films proved to be an eye opening experience. I was suprised by the quality of the twenty ... Read More
