re: Pictures from days gone by....

Dorothy Sebastian was never really what you'd call a star, but rather a leading lady in various late silents. Two of her films have actually made it to blu-ray... "Spite Marriage" (1929) with Buster Keaton, which was an 'extra' on Criterion's release of "The Cameraman" (1928). Plus, just a few weeks back, the release of "Our Dancing Daughters" (1928), in which Sebastian was part of the trio of girls, alongside Joan Crawford and pretty Anita Page.
