### **ABOUT THE FILMS:** **“Love Among the Roses,” 1910, Dir. D. W. Griffith, 16 Mins, USA** Mary Pickford is one of four lovers, matched by social status, but mismatched by love, who finally rearrange themselves and get things right amidst the splendors of Hollywood’s De Longpre gardens. FORMAT: DCP **UP THE ROAD WITH SALLIE, 1918, Dir. William, Desmond Taylor, 50 Mins, USA** Long unseen and newly digitally preserved, UP THE ROAD WITH SALLIE (1922) offers modern audiences a rare chance to see the luminous Constance Talmadge—one of the silent era’s most beloved comediennes—at the height of her charm. Directed by the ill-fated William Desmond Taylor, whose controversial murder remains one of Hollywood’s greatest scandals, this brisk romantic comedy pairs Talmadge with Norman Kerry in a tale of mistaken identities, suspicious coincidences, and a quarantined country house brimming with misunderstandings. As Sallie Waters, Talmadge inherits $5,000 and competes with unknown fellow heirs to use it most wisely—only to find herself weathering a storm, locked in with strangers she suspects are thieves. With Taylor’s polished direction, Kerry’s dashing presence, and Talmadge’s irresistible blend of elegance and impish wit, UP THE ROAD WITH SALLIE is both a sparkling showcase for its star and a fascinating rediscovery from a director whose work is seldom seen today.
