The intertitles in our silent picture show

I want to go back in time and steal this man's waistcoat. Or at least ask what he was reading:



(Francis George Packer, an actor I'd never heard of even under his stage name, Nigel De Brulier. He played the prophet Jokanaan in the 1923 avant-garde film of Oscar Wilde's Salomé, however, so I expect to see more of him soon. Discovered while looking for Conrad Veidt.)

nineweaving worries it would wear me, but I think the wolf hat could take it.

That is a nice waistcoat. I think you could carry it off, with or without the wolf hat.

I'd love to know what he was reading as well. It's a wonderful image, this, and I thank you for sharing it.
