	Mary Pickford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Pickford's worldwide popularity in the '20s was unprecedented, and watching her in these roles (and as the shopgirl in My Best Girl), you see precisely why.
		Pickford (who also wrote the screenplay, under a pseudonym) and the director, William Beaudine, shape the scene in emotional terms, playing out the dramatic line slowly so that you take in each stage of Annie's response -- which begins (in a reversal of the traditional pattern) with resignation and ends in grief.
		Pickford overplays the verse, and though she could carry off much younger roles in just a few years earlier, somehow she comes across as too matronly for Katherine.

		Archer serves as the manager of the Mary Pickford library, and she and producer Hugh Munro Neely through Timeline Films and Milestone Film and Video have recently restored six of Pickford’s best-loved features for home video.
		One of the most striking aspects of Pickford’s body of work is how subtle her acting is. When most people think of silent movies, they imagine pasty-faced actors mugging and waving their arms as if they were having epileptic fits.
		Mary and her collaborators were also daring with the content of some of her films.
