 Rare Louise Brooks trailer to be screened
The trailer to "American Venus" (1926), the second film in which silent screen legend Louise Brooks had a role, will be screened as part of a program of "lost films" at this year's San Francisco Silent Film Festival. The festival takes place July 13-14.
"American Venus" - which centered on the 1925 Miss America contest and featured technicolor scenes - is considered lost. The trailer to the film is likely all that remains. The film starred Ford Sterling, Esther Ralston, Lawrence Gray, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Fay Lamphier (the then reigning Miss America).
Footage of Brooks is included in the trailer.
