Griffith, 17 Mins, Film Preservation Society, USA A lively comedy of romance, mistaken identity and theft, the film marks an important turning point in motion picture history, as Griffith and cinematographer G.W. Bitzer completed production while transitioning from Biograph’s legendary New York studio to California, where the American film industry would soon establish its permanent home. FORMAT: DCP THE QUARTERBACK, 1926, Dir. Fred C. Newmeyer, 74 Mins, Paramount, USA The plot revolves around Jack Stone (Richard Dix), whose father (Harry Beresford) vowed that he would not leave Colton College until his team defeats its archrival, State University. Unfortunately, they lose, year after year after year. Rather than graduate, the father keeps his promise and remains enrolled for the next 27 years. By the 1920s, he is an aging perpetual student attending classes alongside his son Jack, who becomes the school’s new quarterback. Jack must not only win the championship game but also evade attempts by the State team to derail his football success while pursuing a romance with Louise Mason (Esther Ralston). FORMAT: DCP
