Walk of Fame Movie Adventures: White Tiger (1923) and Raymond Griffith

Priscilla Dean looks like a cross between Drew Barrymore and Tina Fey. She’s easily the best part of this forgettable movie.

I had three movie choices for Raymond Griffith:

  • A comedy called Hands Up! that’s available in very poor quality on YouTube
  • The 1930 version of All Quiet on the Western Front, where Griffith has a very small but memorable part
  • This movie

I probably should have gone with Hands Up!. It’s a comedy, and he was a famous silent comedian (his nickname: The Man with the Silk Hat). But I’ll try to make it up to you, Raymond. If All Quiet on the Western Front comes up as an option for someone with a larger part, I’ll watch it.

Today’s fake poster is based on a different “Color + Animal” movie.

This is the last star at 6124 Hollywood Boulevard. Next up: 6140!

I wish there was a clearer picture, but how much can you expect to find from a movie that’s over a century old?
