Paul Revere on the 250th anniversary of the Midnight Ride

3 Shares
Please note that the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere occurred the day before The Shot Heard Round the World, as was its purpose. During 1772, Paul Revere had made church bells manufactured from copper and tin for several of the churches in Boston.
This is the view of Paul Revere's grave from inside the church, on Brimstone corner, a granary used to store gunpowder during the revolution. Donna is cataloging book donations in the library- I have lunch overlooking the graveyard. Today is Palm Sunday.

Scott Lord Silent Film: The Craving (John and Francis Ford, 1919)

3 Shares
In the extratextural discourse that may have developed the confections of genre, Motion Picture Weekly published press sheets for Bluebird's "sensational melodrama" "The Craving" with "Suggestions for Putting This Picture Over", their having announced that in some shots of its "remarkable photography" there were "as many as four distinct exposures" that would "make audiences gasp." The film's "Distinctive Feature" was "mysterious illusions of weird beauty."
