'‘Waterloo Bridge ” —1932 version, with Douglass Mont- gomery and Mae Clarke. Below, the latest version, with Vivien Leigh and k Robert Taylor. A who mastered the language did it to their own great advantage, and to the benefit of their big public. Probably the most notable example is Greta Garbo. One thing that can truly be said about these re-made films is that their makers have chosen invariably the finest films fitted for reviving. The recent “Hunchback of Notre Dame” is a case in point. This melodramatic film was first made with Lon Chaney as star, and in the new version had Charles Laughton as the Hunchback. A good many critics and film correspondents questioned the wisdom of making this huge picture again when it was first announced, but the success of the second version proved that they were wrong. Two big films of the silent days I should like to see re-filmed are “ The Birth of a Nation ” and “ Ben Hur," but only because of the advantage of sound, for both these films were beautifully cast and photographed. A red-hot topical film of twenty years ago would rarely command attention now, since the moral it preached and the wrong it sought to remove would in most cases be out of date because the desired reformation had been accomplished. A story founded on the basic truths of humanity which exist for all time is a first essential for a re-made film. Edward Wood. The Sea Hawk ” (top left ) stars Errol Flytm, with newcomer Brenda Marshall as his leading lady. The late Milton Sills starred in the early spectacular silent film, his leading lady being Enid Bennett. Earthbound ’ was a famous play — Wyndham Standing and Mahlon Hamil- ton are seen in the silent film (1920) Below is a scene from the new version ofl ‘ Earthbound,’’ showing Lynn Bari and Warner Baxter.
