Silent Films Illustrated With Commentaries By:

About Harry Piel's "Was Ist Los Im Zirkus Beely?" (1926)


Silent Guest Star: Dame Frederica


Dame Frederica asked: "(snip review of amazing film)... OK, where'd you see this one? This sounds like fun, too!"

And Herr Graf Ferdinand Von Galitzien replied: "This film was shown by "ARTE" an excellent German-frenchified t.v. channel more than a year ago. Each month "ARTE" shows beautiful silent film restorations or even bizarre silent films too, so it is the only chance for German aristocrats to watch rare silent films in their cosy "Schloss"; the film was preceed by an interesting documentary about the life and miracles of Herr Piel, entitled "Harry Piel - Der Entfesselte", so you must understand German, or even French because "ARTE" it is a bilingual t.v. channel depeding if you lives in Germany or France ( never in Amerika )... if you want to know everything about the "German Douglas Fairbanks".
