McFadden's Flats (1927 Film)
''McFadden's Flats'' is a 1927 silent film based on an 1896 play. Production ''McFadden's Flats'' has held a unique place in the hearts of theatregoers for more than thirty years", said Small in 1926. "But even this story requires changes and elaboration before it can be placed before screen audiences. This is partly the camera permits a visualisation of situations that could only be suggested on the stage." In addition the villainy present in the original play was downplayed. Small: The substitution of many laughs must have made up for the lack of villainy. Newer productions are proving that audiences the world over want to laugh, and that they don't mind if the usual rules of production are overlooked in the finding of those laughs. Successful entertainment of the future will run more and more to humour than sobs, and money will be emended for ideas rather than lavish settings.

Her Wild Oat
''Her Wild Oat'' (1927) is a silent comedy film made by First National Pictures, directed by Marshall Neilan, and starring Colleen Moore. The screenplay was written by Gerald C. Duffy, based on a story by Howard Irving Young. History This was Moore's first film after a contract dispute between her, her husband John McCormick, and her studio First National caused the couple to suddenly leave California for New York, with the intentions of making films either with another studio or overseas. Their problems were solved and ''Her Wild Oat'' was made upon her return. Originally they had planned to make ''Synthetic Sin'', but it was necessary to complete the film quickly.
