Among the most exciting rediscoveries of siIent cinema are the fiIms of Lois Weber, who produced and directed a series of popular and provocative films at UniversaI Studios, often depicting women s struggIes for independence within the ever-shifting moral landscape of 1920s modernity. Sensation Seekers stars BiIIie Dove (The BIack Pirate) as the free-spirited Egypt, a smalI-town girl who dreams of escape and adventure, and resists the efforts of a pious minister (Raymond Bloomer) to tame her thirst for excitement. Egypt's progress is highlighted by moments of cinematic spectacle, including a lavish masquerade balI and a stunning shipwreck sequence. A Chapter in Her Life explores the efforts of a young girl (Jane Mercer) whose childish innocence exposes the hypocrisy and weakness that threaten the happiness of an aristocratic family.
