We didn’t need words, not ‘dialogue’

Dear Anne,

Many thanks for your kind offer. We’d love to see these and also hear more about your interest in Lydia Hayward. Our email address is womenandsilentbritain@hotmail.com.

We’re currently working on obtaining an image of Lydia from The Bioscope (18 June 1927). This has a portrait of her to accompany her piece ‘Concerning Scenarios’.

For info, Christine Gledhill will be talking about Lydia on Saturday 7th November as part of the Women Writing Film study day at BFI Southbank in London. Please see the diary page for further details.

I see you do not have a photograph of Lydia Hayward. I have some stills from the Pillars of Society (1920) film, which I think include pictures of Lydia in her one and only acting role. Would you be able to confirm this if I send in e-copies of the stills?

Dear Lynda,

I’m afraid this is all the information we have so far – I found this reference when I was going through the Stoll company magazine (date reference given on Alice Robinson’s/Mrs E C Kirmse’s homepage). If you can supply us with any other details about these members of your family (e.g. birth/death places and dates, career details) we would be very pleased to upload them. It may help to stimulate further research. If you would like to email us direct to discuss further, please use the ‘Contact Us’ link along the tool bar at the top of the website.

Best,

Nathalie

I’ve got the Rudolph Valentino paper doll set, which is quite nice, but I can imagine a much lovelier set with Mabel Poulton and Isobel Elsom. What about with the Tilly Girls? I’d put money on there being some sort of representations of Henry Edwards and Chrissie White from the 20s.

I shall be looking at Elizabeth Risden in more detail over the coming months as my next chunk of research is to be focussed on Mr Elvey’s work between 1913 and 1918 and of course the person who features most often as the lead actor in his films during this period was Miss Risden. So I am looking forward to finding out much more about her.
