I'm thinking I might track down some of his silents.
I would be very interested to hear what you think. Broken Blossoms (1919) keeps coming around on TCM, but for obvious reasons that isn't the first one I want to see. (In an ideal world, I would be able to see him first in The Patent Leather Kid (1927), because that was the first movie my cinema-loving grandfather remembered seeing. But no one ever seems to show that one.)

Yes. And I've still never written about the movie. Every time I try, it spins off into a massive unwieldy stream of consciousness with too many footnotes. But I love him as Bat Macpherson né Kilgallen. He does some fascinating things with his body language.
