I think we fans here in Seattle are all very concerned and worried about this situation, and we are worried about Dennis. Although I thought Mr. Riggs playing was great and enjoyed it, I hope it will not be in the context of a terrible and ungrateful decision by STG to remove Dennis James. Dennis has brought us fans here in Seattle more joy than those new to the scene can imagine. He has given us far more than can be repaid, both in his words and stories, and of course, his amazing playing. I hope that we in Seattle will consider this situation to be an opportunity to support Dennis as an artist and as a human being, and not just see him as a "replaceable" worker. He has given so much in his life to us, and if he is having some sort of trouble, I would hope that all of us who love silent movies could at least try to reach out and support him. I of course say this not knowing anything about the details of what is going on, but I am worried that some corprate interest might be slighting a man who has been responsible for bringing us great art for decades, and has given his very life and soul to it. Regardless, I'd like to see a big show of support for Dennis this next Monday. As much as us fans had been looking forward to seeing the last movie, I think we could miss this one and just stand outside and show Dennis our love. Not neccessarily a protest, but just a big show of "thanks" and gratitude for THE man who has given us so much all these years...

And Paul if you knew anything about the way films are projected, the Paramount likely didn't even turn the sound from the projector on. I don't think it was a case of "this particular print of The Godless Girl apparently didn't have the talkie soundtrack attached." Its a good thing they let you review films since you seem to know so much about them.

Anyone else remember Dennis James's scifi silent films? Including a Russian short from the 'Teens that was stop-motion using dead bugs. Or the time he was joined by a trio playing obsolete turn-of-the-century instruments.

And those talks before those silent films should just be five or ten minute or so. Just give us a bit of historical context and any notable information. These half hour lectures kill me unless they actually have an interesting guest.
