RARE Film available CLEOPATRA (1912)

Cleopatra (1912) starring Helen Gardner
Miss Gardner became a star playing Becky Sharp in Vitagraph's VANITY FAIR (1911). In early 1912, she launched her own independent production company, Helen Gardner Picture Players, and established a studio on the border between Old Tappan, NJ and Tappan, NY. Gardner was the first United States film star to form her own production company. Hers was the first company formed around a single star and the first dedicated solely to the production of full-length feature films, then a new and controversial idea.

Her first independent production was CLEOPATRA (1912), in which she also starred. CLEOPATRA was the country's first full-length, 6000' feature film. It won critical and popular acclaim and played for many years throughout the United States, Britain, Europe, and Russia.
A SISTER TO CARMEN (1913), Gardner's third independent production, was restored by her granddaughter, Dorin Gardner Schumacher, with the help of a grant from New York Women in Film and Television.

Because of the roles Gardner played in CLEOPATRA, A SISTER TO CARMEN and her other productions, she is considered the screen's first vamp. In addition to being an actress and pioneering producer, she was one of the earliest women scenarists, directors, and film editors.
From 1910 to 1924, Gardner appeared in at least 62 films, including the 10 independent features she produced. Sixteen of the films in which she appeared are known to survive, in whole or in part.

Cleopatra is fully restored and tinted with a modernistic score. One hour and twenty seven minutes.

Old McCain and Ignorant Obama

Old means just that. Ignorant means lack of knowledge.
John McCain: How many homes do you own? "I don't know."
Obama: Do you remember Ted Kennedy and Chappequidick? "Don't you mean the Chatanooga Choo-Choo?"

John McCain is too old and too rich to make a connection with the common man of the U.S.A. He doesn't know how many homes he owns ... And somehow, I do NOT think he knows how many people have lost or who will lose their one and only home.

Obama pitches pipe dreams and ideologies. But realistically, factually and lawfully, the President has no power in changing instantaneously unemployment and the economy.

Large companies and their "executives" will always make more than their employees. They will line their pockets first. The President cannot make employers give more money to employees. The President cannot make companies hire more people at higher wages.

McCain cannot remember how many homes he has, but he can remember being a P.O.W. fifty years ago. His past should be honoured. But it cannot be the reason we entrust OUR future with him.

What are our choices? Who should be our choice to lead this Country?

If you ask the younger generation, depending upon where they live ... South or North ...
Obama paints a good picture. Yet, they do not remember Ted Kennedy and Chappequidick and have no reason to look into it ... They know of the name John F. Kennedy. They never heard of Ronald Reagan, Bette Davis ... and they only know Julie Andrews is the old Queen to that Princess. Some remember her as the lady who comes over the mountain singing.

As for John McCain - again, depending upon where the young person lives ... he is that old man. Or, he is better than the black dude.

May GOD help us all.
