Writes Professor Robert Gerst:

In Silent Film Miracles, students decode the semaphore of silent film. Above in The Son of the Sheik (1926), Rudolph Valentino (Son of the Sheik) and Vilma Bank (Jasmine) embrace. But can silent movies like this still speak to viewers today?

“Yes!” thirty-eight Spring 2016 Silent Film Miracles students appraising this movie declare. Read their (abridged and edited) assessments of this ninety year old classic movie here.
