Silent Clowns Film Series: A Gentleman of Paris

                                                                                  A Gentleman of Paris (1927)

Adolph Menjou was the epitome of sophisticated comedy in the 1920s. After his star-making turn in Charlie Chaplin’s A Woman of Paris (’23) he went on to headline in Are Parents People? (’25), Service for Ladies (’27), and many others. This is one of the few surviving films of Harry d’Abbadie d’Arrast, an Argentine émigré who had been an assistant to Chaplin before going on with his own directorial career.

First on the bill we have Stan Laurel and Tyler Brooke in hot water in On the Front Page (’26).
