I'm interested in pre-1934 Hays code movies . Do you know of any blogs covering these films?

Hi! I don’t know of any blogs *specifically* covering the precode time but most early old hollywood and silent film blogs will also post precode films!

also if you’re a precode blog, feel free to reply to this post or reblog it to advertise yourself <3

Hello! I am trying to identify an actress from a publicity still taken in 1926 and I was wondering if you could take a look. It's the most recent post on my Tumblr page. Thank you!

hi there, thanks for the ask!!

firstly, i must say that’s such a cool family connection you have to silent films!

anyways, i saw that you thought it was either dolores del rio or eleanor boardman, and i am nearly certain it isn’t dolores del rio.

i looked up the casts for both films you mentioned and out of everyone, i think that eleanor boardman has the closest ressemble to the woman in the picture.

here are some pictures of eleanor boardman that ressemble the picture you posted:
