Summary

Item title devised.

The Theodor Horydczak Collection is a collection of photographs taken by Theodor Horydczak (1890-1971) a Polish-born American photographer who worked in Washington D.C. from the 1910s to the 1950s includes images of Washington, D.C. history, street scenes, government buildings, landmarks, public events, and portraits.

The height of the silent movie era (the 1910s-1920s) was a period of artistic innovation. Silent film stars had to use their faces to express every emotion — a skill that was lost on most actors when talkies replaced silent movies. Several silent stars including Wallace Beery, Shearer, Laurel and Hardy, Greta Garbo, and Janet Gaynor made a successful transition to talkies.
