### **ABOUT THE FILMS:** **“As It Is In Life,” 1910, Dir. D. W. Griffith, 16 Mins, USA** Shot on a Pigeon Farm in Lincoln Heights, a devoted widower sacrifices his own happiness to raise his daughter (Mary Pickford), only to lose her to marriage—until she returns with her newborn, rekindling their bond. FORMAT: DCP **SILKS AND SADDLES, 1929, Dir. Robert F. Hill, 60 Mins, Universal Pictures, USA** A spirited blend of romance, redemption, and racetrack thrills from Universal Pictures’ final year of the silent era, SILKS AND SADDLES stars Richard Walling as Johnny Spencer, a cocky young jockey whose impulsive decision to throw a race for the attention of a femme fatale (Sybil Morrissey) sends his career and reputation into free fall. Johnny seizes a last, dangerous chance at glory when he’s called upon to tame a fiery thoroughbred, proving his courage and winning the heart of his employer’s spirited daughter (Marion Nixon). With veteran screen heavy Montagu Love and character actor David Torrence adding grit and gravitas, SILKS AND SADDLES gallops at full speed from scandal to triumph, offering a rare and exhilarating glimpse of late-silent Hollywood.
