Sister night & Movies
& home & radio

-----------------

Matt's Notes

Movies Papa might have seen that night include:

• America, D.W. Griffith's take on the Revolutionary War
• Yolanda, a medieval costume drama in which Marion Davies played two parts
• The Song of Love, a spy story with Norma Talmadge
• Icebound, based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Owen Davis
• Daughters of Today, a cautionary tale of flappers gone wild originally released as What's Your Daughter Doing?
• A Society Scandal, with Gloria Swanson
• Flowing Gold, which prompted the New York Times' amazement over "the amount of movie hokum that can be packed into eight reels"
• Happiness, directed by the same King Vidor whose film Wild Oranges Papa had seen a few days before
• Love's Whirlpool, also dismissed as a trifle by the New York Times
  

And here's Papa listening to the radio at home:
