Actor Paul Newman Tayt a t tired of the Oscar sweepstakes sounds of silence rejuvenate old films byjoe Hanauer United press internationals Ilent films were never meant to be silent they just did t have any talking in whom. Thai s the View of Carl Davis who devises new musical scores for silent flicks to be played live by Lull symphony orchestras. The multimedia combination of music and silent screen is called live Cinema by thames television the British to outfit that has been putting them together since 1080 when its reconstruction of the silent classic Napoleon Wilh a new score by Davis was a smash hit at the London film festival. Now radio City music Hall in new York City has imported the Lour film thames silent film festival accompanied by Davis specially composed music played by the american symphony orchestra to be shown March 5 through b. Radio City is exploring the possibility of presenting the program in Chicago later this year then arranging a National tour in 1988. Tho Lour silent films Are the wind starring Lillian Gish flesh and fio Devil starring Gre a Garbo and John Gilbert thief of Bagdad starring Douglas Fairbanks and the big Parade again Wilh Gilbert. The festival also features personal appearances by Gish Douglas Fairbanks jr., and Gilbert s daughter Leatrice Gilbert Fountain. The score Lor the Lima were composed by Davis whose credits include the score for the French lieutenant s woman and a number of to mini series. In their heyday in major cities silent films were preceded by some sort of concert or stage show Davis said and often were accompanied by a full symphony orchestra. Thai was All swept away by the coming of sound except for a few cinemas thai retained the stage show. The coming of sound was a calamity or musicians who had beef enjoying a very High level of in the silent screen Days he said movie studios considered the sound accompaniment very important and employed staff composers and arrangers. For big films such As Tho pkg Parade Mem issued a score hat it suggested be played Wilh the movie. Davis will conduct the orchestra himself for its music Hall run the More than 70-rnember orchestra for thief of Bagdad he said was the largest Ever to play radio cily music Hall. The score was collated irom Tho works of Rimsky Korsakoff he said and i told them i could t do it Wilh less than 70. You would t want to hear scheherazade Wilh a 30-member orchestra would you Davis designed the music for each film with q different approach. The wind will be introduced by Gish and preceded by a showing of an Early Gish work a Griffith two Reefer tilled Trie unseen enemy. The wind is a completely original scorn Davis said. It s a very strange film Sel in the dust bowl of Western Texas and i used Only strings and percussion a huge percussion Section. Flesh and the Devil was the film that established Carbo s image a highly romantic film and we use an orchestra of nearly 70 or an original Strauss oriented score. Of the my in which garb s image was really achieved we needed an extra special lushness. For thief of Bagdad Drew on the practice of its Day. Whan they had no qualms about bleeding chunks of the classics to accompany films. I tried o do it sensitively and artistically As if Rimsky Korsakoff had been living in 1925 and they had commissioned the score from Davis said for the big Parade he studied the film s original Mem score and picked from it various world War i popular songs such As Over there and you re in the army now along Wilh Bugle Calls and some charming French Chansons along with music of his own for the big War and Battle themes. The idea of rejuvenating silent films with orchestral accompaniment originated with to producer director David Gill and film historian Kevin Brownlow. Their thames silents have become in annual even Al the London film festival. There certainly is a revival of interest in Stem films Brownlow said when they Are presented As they should be nol As bickering prints but As first class Black and while and timed prints Wilh orchestral accompaniment As they were in the big Broadway houses in the 1920s. U makes All the difference. At their bed silent films engage the audience to a greater degree than sound because they cause you to use your imagination. You Supply the voices and the sound and you do the work you Don t have to with talkies which do All the work for you. The audience leaves a silent film feeling he said the combination of live theater and silent Cinema produced a tremendous spectacular that could t be More different than television diminishes motion pictures and this brings them Back to their Lull glory.
