1920′s Movie Stars – The Brightest Stars of the 1920′s
Saturday, March 27th, 2010When most of us think of the era known as the “roaring twenties” we imagine what it must have been like to live during the time of flappers, 1920′s silent movies and their stars along with prohibition. Motion pictures produced during this period pale technically in comparison to the films that show on our silver screen today.
In the early part of the twenties, films were silent with the possible exception of a piano or organ being played live in the theater as a background to the picture. This all changed with the debut of the “Jazz Singer” in 1927 starring famed entertainer, Al Jolsen.
The Gold Rush, the 1925 silent screen comedy, is generally thought to be Charlie Chaplin’s most well known film. Throughout the history of motion pictures, both film critics and viewers have always considered this Chaplin film to be a true Hollywood comedy classic from the silent era.
