According to the cover, it's "An autobiography in short-fiction." I don't know about that, but what I've read so far, ain't all that bad. It seems one of the killers has published a book.

"The Red Lily" was shown on TCM not too long ago. I'm assuming it'll be on again in the not-too-distant future. I wasn't crazy about Novarro in that one, but Enid Bennett was excellent in the title role. Those two men *were* hired — by Novarro himself.

I wonder if those two men were hired...Do you know of the film The Red Lily(1924)? Do you know how I could get a copy of that? I absolutely LOVED his performance along with Enid Bennett's in that silent cinema gem. I love Ramon Novarro’s work! I wonder if those two men were hired…Do you know of the film The Red Lily(1924)?

I guess it all depended on your social circle. Haines was apparently quite open within his circle, but not so elsewhere. And absolutely, "Trifling Women" would be quite *the* find. Hey, Marcus,

Well, actually there were people who were “semi-openly” gay long before William Haines’ time. I guess it all depended on your social circle. Haines was apparently quite open within his circle, but not so elsewhere.

And absolutely, “Trifling Women” would be quite *the* find.

Ramon Novarro calls to mind one of the kings of France who was homosexual and would go through bizarre spells of punishing himself, sometimes even through violence. Self hatred is truly the worst kind. It also makes one wonder how William Haines could be so ribald, even without the factors of religion and upbringing I can't imagine someone born in 1900 could have dealt easily with his sexuality. I really hope Trifling Women/Black Orchids surfaces one day. Unnecessary deaths always leave so many questions.
