Dollar Down
This lost silent by Tod Browning (director of Freaks, Dracula, and excellent Lon Chaney vehicles such as The Unknown and The Road to Mandalay) considers some still timely horrors - those which assault the middle-class family attempting to live beyond its means, and falling prey to credit mongers.
The last reel of this rare film had completely disintegrated before it could be copied; therefore, a synopsis will be made available. Even in this form, the film remains an important hitherto missing link in the career of Tod Browning, presented here in its first public showing.
• Directed by Tod Browning. Produced by Truart. Written by Fred Stowers, from a story by Jane Courthope and Ethel Hill. Photographed by Allen Thompson. With Ruth Roland, Henry B. Walthall, Roscoe Karns. (1925, 50 mins, 35mm, silent, Print from UCLA Film Archives)

More Pay, Less Work
An entertaining programmer with lots of comedy and action, More Pay, Less Work pits the interests of business against those of love - but into which camp fall the interests of the family? Cappy Ricks is a shipowner whose daughter falls in love with the son of his arch rival. As the young lovers work for their respective parents, their efforts to conduct a secret romance become convoluted and comical. A business solution is inevitable. Based on a “Cappy Ricks” story, the film is set in the San Francisco area, with action taking place near the Golden Gate Bridge.
