Do You Know This Movie?

A life long search for a lost silent-era film, "Sentimental Tommy", 1921 Paramount Pictures.
As a child actor, my father had a small part in this film (shot on the back lots of rural Long Island..now Astoria, Queens) via the Famous Players-Lasky production company. The movie featured the legendary Welsh film star Gareth Hughes, 1894-1965. Would love to find a copy! Very, very few silent-era films have survived, so its a long shot.

May 14th, 2009 received a set production still (see above) from Stephen Lyons, the International Voice Over personality who is also the official biographer of Gareth Hughes. He had just purchased this rare publicity still and passed it along to me. Alas, none of the boys in this classroom scene appear to be my Dad, although we are still thinking about this.
The journey continues.

" The Silent Film era had all but ended by 1930, the only notable exception was Charlie Chaplin who released City Lights and Modern Times in 1931 and 1936 respectively."
