It's strange to realize that Elmo Lincoln died before I was born.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-22888142060253106072018-05-13T08:46:33.454-07:002018-05-13T08:46:33.454-07:00I know! 100 years!

I'm glad you enjoyed it :) The silents had to do so much with gesture and facial expression. It's no wonder some had trouble making the transition to "talkies".Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-63567744729027737152018-05-12T14:26:01.703-07:002018-05-12T14:26:01.703-07:00Imagine how little anyone in the US had seen of th...Imagine how little anyone in the US had seen of the African animals.

So were some of the side characters, for that matter. I don't think I had ever seen this first one. Thanks. :) Johnny Weismuller was my favorite, too! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-44794479239000506072018-05-11T13:02:10.359-07:002018-05-11T13:02:10.359-07:00Interesting seeing this as a silent movie and it&#...Interesting seeing this as a silent movie and it's amazing to think this film celebrates its centennial this year too.

I also loved all the animal shots-so wild, wasn't it? Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the view.
