The Show Off/The Plastic Age

This DVD contains two ok silent films.  The Show Off is about a man who puts his family to ruin but ends up saving the day at the end.  It costars Louise Brooks as a nice girl.  (This wasn't her usual role.)  Louise shines in this movie and that's the reason to watch it.  The Plastic Age has Clara Bow in it.  Two guys in college are after her.  She's a bit of a tease.  The ending is cute.  Clara Bow would later make It a much better movie called It.  Clara definitely was one of the most charismatic silent stars.  They're worth a watch.
