Note that Mary Pickford was 34 years-old, and still playing teenage girls (just a couple years later, she would wisely give this up and switch to adult roles) AND Just Another Blonde, the 1926 Alfred Santell silent romantic melodrama ("Adapted from story by Gerald Beaumont") starring Dorothy Mackaill, Jack Mulhall, Louise Brooks, and William Collier Jr .AND The Magician, the 1926 Rex Ingram silent science fiction (sci-fi) magical alchemist fantasy thriller (about a crazy magician/alchemist who is working to create life, but he needs the blood of a virgin, and he sends his dwarf assistant to find the right girl; obviously, this movie borrowed heavily from the novel "Frankenstein", which had not yet been made into a movie, and which likely had a strong influence on the movie version of "Frankenstein"!) starring Alice Terry, Paul Wegener (in the title role as Oliver Haddo, the magician; best remembered as the co-director and star of the three German expressionist movies starring "The Golem", which he made in 1915, 1917 and 1920; the Golem is widely regarded as one of the first movie monsters, and likely had a strong influence on American horror movies!), Ivan Petrovich, Firmin Gemier, Gladys Hamer, and Henry Wilson (as Haddo's servant; a dwarf; he only made a handful of movies in the 1920s) AND The High Cost of Living, AND Nothing but the Truth!
