Silent Star from Duluth
Posted by Doug in Travel at 2:09 pm There are many things that bring people to Duluth. It is a port city on the edge of Lake Superior that handles large cargo ships filled with products for our country. When people travel here they may bring their kids along and there are things for them to do as well. In Duluth, there is available the first and only all freshwater aquarium called the Great Lakes Aquarium. There are also many nice places to walk including a trip to the impressive Aerial Lift Bridge. As you spend time in the area you may want to read up on who either spent time here or lived here as the city was growing into what we know Duluth today. There are many great hotels in Duluth to stay in, which you can find here and they will have information on all the sights to see. They may not have information on some of the interesting people that came from this area. Unless you plan to spend a day at the library searching for the history of the city.
We live in a world of fast and loud entertainment in every category like music, movies and sports. It is always interesting to stop and think of the history of the country and one of those pieces includes silent movies. Carol Dempster was born in Duluth and she was an actress in silent movies. Her legacy lives on in the many projects she worked on and it is fun to slow down and see the thespian drama that made silent movies work. There was no dialogue it was all presented in every slight action of the face and body. It was really quite and art to being able to convey a point without being able to speak. Carol Dempster was a beautiful woman who worked with D.W. Griffith, a legendary film director, on many projects. She was able to work side by side with actors like W.C. Fields, John Barrymore and William Powell. She got her first role in 1916 and played her last role in 1926. She lived a long life and left a great historical legacy.
