### **ABOUT THE FILMS:** **“Cops,” 1922, Dir. Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton, 18 Mins, USA** Buster Keaton takes on the entire police force, with the streets of L.A. and Hollywood as a backdrop in this comic chase masterpiece. FORMAT: DCP **LOVERS IN QUARANTINE, 1925, Frank Tuttle, 70 Mins, USA** Long unseen and newly restored to its original sparkle, Paramount’s LOVERS IN QUARANTINE (1925) is a lively romantic farce featuring one of the brightest stars of the Jazz Age, Bebe Daniels. Directed by Frank Tuttle, whose career would span from silent comedy to 1950s noir, this breezy comedy of mistaken identities and romantic reversals begins when Pamela Gordon (Eden Gray) jilts her long-absent fiancé, African explorer Anthony Blunt (Harrison Ford), only for him to return and scheme an elopement to Bermuda. But when Pamela’s mischievous sister Diana (Daniels) takes her place aboard ship—and later, in the honeymoon cottage on a quarantined island—the resulting jealousies, disguises, and romantic entanglements lead to an unexpected wedding. Daniels, already a seasoned performer by her mid-teens from co-starring alongside Harold Lloyd in a series of comedy shorts, radiates the independence, wit, and charm that made her a 1920s sensation. With its shipboard glamour, island escapades, and screwball twists decades ahead of their time, Lovers in Quarantine offers modern audiences the rare treat of seeing Daniels, whose work is mostly lost today, at the height of her silent-era magic.
