Important series introducing a new generation to silents
I loved this series as a teenager especially the charming and warm introductions in the second edition by Lillian Gish (apparently filmed in her New York apartment!). THE SILENT YEARS introduced kids of the seventies to a long-lost fascinating era of film. I would love to see somebody release the programs on DVD. Another IMDb member listed the movies aired in the Welles collection so I researched and found the titles in the second season and have submitted it to IMDb:
(1) WHAT PRICE GLORY 6-18-75 (2) THE EAGLE 6-25-75 (3) THE IRON HORSE 7-2-75 (4) THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 7-9-75 (5) COLLEGE 7-16-75 (6) BROKEN BLOSSOMS 7-23-75 (7) PECK'S BAD BOY 7-30-75 (8) THE TEMPEST 8-6-75 (9) DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS 8-13-75 (10) RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE 8-20-75 (11) SEVENTH HEAVEN 8-27-75 (12) THE IRON MASK 9-3-75.
I'm fairly certain I saw THE CAT AND THE CANARY during the Gish run, perhaps it was as Lugonian mentioned for DR JEYKLL & MR HYDE in season one just not run in New York.
