CAMILLE ( 1921 ) 115 Alia Nazimova had been in pictures since 1916, when Selznick introduced her in War Brides. While the theater was the only existing medium then for exploiting her extraordinarily beautiful voice, nevertheless her compelling personality and eloquent pantomime made her unusually effective in pictures. She appears here in the death scene from Camille, made in 1921. The couple at the right are Patsy Ruth Miller and Rex Cherryman. BELOW Harry Myers, as the Yankee, here astonishes the natives with his newly made Model T in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which Emmett J. Flynn directed for Fox in 1921. Notice the license plate, bearing the year of its manufacture (a.d. 528) and its serial number.
