Scott Lord on the Silent Film of Greta Garbo, Mauritz Stiller, Victor Sjostrom as Victor Seastrom, John Brunius, Gustaf Molander - the Golden Age of Swedish Silent Film........Lost Films in Found Magazines: Victor Seastrom directing John Gilbert and Lon Chaney, the printed word offering clues to deteriorated celluloid, extratextual discourse illustrating how novels were adapted to the screen; the photoplay as a literature, a social phenomenon; how it was reviewed, audience reception.
Scott Lord on Silent Film
Gendered spectatorship notwithstanding, in a way, the girl coming down the stairs is symbolic of the lost film itself, the unattainable She, idealized beauty antiquated (albeit it being the beginning of Modernism), with the film detective catching a glimpse of the extratextural discourse of periodicals and publicity stills concerning Lost Films, Found Magazines

Scott Lord Silent Film: Mary Pickford in Rosita (Ernst Lubitsch, 1923)
While the film was in theaters, the periodical Moving Picture World headlined, "'Rosita' a Pictorial Gem, Marks Epic in Filmmaking". It began with alluding to the importance of casting actors in the star system as part of the audience expectations within a specific developing genre, perhaps genre system or matrix. "Mary Pickford has grown up. Sans curls and childish mannerisms, which earned her the title of 'America's Sweetheart' and with the aid of the wonderful directorial talents of Ernest Lubitsch, she had given us in 'Rosita' a pictorial gem which will go a long way toward making an epoch in filmmaking."
The nine reel film was photographed by Charles Rosher and scripted by Edward Knoblock.
