A silent film from the nineteen twenties believed to have been lost forever, was surprisingly discovered in an Omaha parking lot and auctioned off to an unsuspecting collector for a mere twenty dollars. The film, titled The Pill Pounder, will be screened for the first time in one hundred one years at the upcoming San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Kansas City filmmaker Gary Huggins purchased the film along with a stack of other reels last year, unaware of its significance.

7:29 Upon viewing one of the films, Huggins was astonished to spot actress Clara Bow, one of the biggest stars of the silent era. Bow's name has recently gained renewed attention as it is featured in the title of a song on Taylor Swift's forthcoming album. Huggins later discovered that the film was the missing nineteen twenty three comedy short. It was the best twenty dollars I've ever invested, for sure. That was a big rush when I realized it was a Clara Bow. David Sten, Clara Bo's biographer, shared Huggins's inayenthusiasm for the incredible discovery. He described Bo as the it girl of the late nineteen twenties and the first sex symbol in American cinema. Men wanted to have her and women wanted to be her. Sten said, you have to imagine a time when the idea of a woman having independence and autonomy didn't exist, and you went to the movies and saw Clara Bow. She was the first truly liberated woman on screen. Sten emphasized the rarity of such a find saying, the fact that this film was discovered a century after it was made, when does that happen? Historians have drawn comparisons between Clara Bow and modern day superstars, making her connection to Taylor Swift unsurprising. She influenced her entire generation and successive generations after her. So in the nineteen thirties everyone said, Gene Harlowe is the new Clara Bow. In the nineteen forties it was Rita Hayworth, and in the fifties it was Marilyn Monroe, and it went on and on and on.
