   She looks like Bessie Love. I’m not saying it IS Bessie Love; I’m saying she LOOKS like Bessie Love.

   Love that camera! I guess the scene you are showing is high drama so I guess the cameraman was cranking the thing sort of slowly. Adore them silents, too!

    I agree with Steve, she looks like Bessie Love with a little Zasu-y thing going on, too.

    Obviously, the timing is wrong by several decades, but my first thought was that the guy in the middle was Jesse White, the Maytag repairman.

    It is really amazing to see that hand-cranked cameras were still in use on stages as late as 1925. Many camera operators of those silent rigs were hired for their internal sense of rhythm. Not so easy to maintain 16 frames per second.
