Gilda's Blue
Book of the Screen
Foreword
Welcome! My name is Gilda Tabarez. I am an avid fan of silent films. I have been watching silent films since I was a small child. My father used to take me to silent film revivals at the now- defunct Avenue Theatre here in San Francisco during the late sixties through to the early eighties. There I enjoyed a great many silent films accompanied by the magnificent Wurlitzer pipe organ. That wonderful theatre is now closed, probably forever, but I will never forget the beauty and magic of the silents which I experienced there. The purpose of this Web site is to share with you some articles and links about silent films, in the hope that you will come to appreciate silent cinema as I do. |

This site is dedicated to the memory of Robert K. Klepper (1967-2000) a remarkable man and a gifted writer . He was a champion of silent film preservation and presentation. I will always be very grateful for his kindness and for the several articles he graciously contributed to this website. He is sorely missed. |
