Movie Clip

A. DuPont, introducing the main set, if not yet the stars (Anna May Wong, Gilda Gray, Jameson Thomas, Cyrill Ritchard and Charles Laughton).
Piccadilly (1929) -- (Movie Clip) One Little Chinese Girl London night club impresario Victor (Cyril Ritchard) looking into why dirty plates are escaping the kitchen, inquires at the scullery where everyone is enthralled by Shosho (Anna May Wong), then explaining to star Mabel (Gilda Gray), early in the English silent Piccadilly, 1929.
Piccadilly (1929) -- (Movie Clip) A Terrific Success Big debut dancing sequence for Anna May Wong as Shosho, knocking out everybody at the club, great news for the boss Victor (Cyril Ritchard) but not so welcomed by the reigning star Mabel (Gilda Gray), in Piccadilly, 1929.
Piccadilly (1929) -- (Movie Clip) Chinese Dancing Wonder Morning after her smash London night club debut, dancer Shosho (Anna May Wong) digs into the newspapers and embarrasses her smitten friend Jim (King Ho Chang), in the British silent showbiz melodrama Piccadilly, 1929.
Thomasine And Bushrod (1974) -- (Movie Clip) Been Doin' This Long? After an opening in which she shot a guy on the open range without apparent reason, in 1911 Texas, Vonetta McGee (1st title character) clears things up, with Dodson (Herb Robins) her mark and marshal Bogardie (George Murdock) paying out, in Gordon Parks Jr.'s Thomasine And Bushrod, 1974.
