Ollie's films   Message List

a quick note...

Found note from LEXand51st quite insightful but the comment on how
many people even remember a first run Ollie movie was telling.

It should be noted that if any are still around, they most likely
saw one of her Selznick films and not the more numerous Triangle
movies.

Triangle changed radically from the moment when Ollie auditioned in
Febraury 1917 to her second film in July/August 1917. Triangle was
imploding and even though Ollie was one of the few bright stars
remaining, her films were not widely released outside of the deep
South or overseas. This was due to the internal problems of Triangle
and interesting reading for those of you who like court briefs and
financial documents. Simply, why Ollie (or Alma Rubens, Willian
Desmond, or even Taylor Holmes)was not widely distributed by
Triangle is why Triangle went into bankruptcy.

Good Luck and that should keep Ollie of the Follies quite busy...

Thanks Olive E. Thomas! I really wasn't trying to open a kettle of worms. I drew my conclusion (and it wasn't meant to be definative) from what ...
