THE STREET ANGEL (1928) 205 Another star to remain silent during the year of the great transition was Lillian Gish. Here she is in the role of Letty in The Wind, a story of the Southwest that Victor Seastrom directed for M-G-M. BELOW Fox's bid to emulate Seventh Heaven's great success was The Street Angel, in which Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell were again costarred. Despite the voung couple's charm and Frank Borzage's direction, it hardly equaled its predecessor in popularity. As this picture of Miss Gaynor shows, the film was distinguished by some exceptionally fine camera work by Ernest Palmer.
