Films Directed By Erle C
A film also called a movie, motion picture, moving picture, picture, photoplay or (slang) flick is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound and, more rarely, other sensory stimulations. The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to filmmaking and the film industry, and to the art form that is the result of it. Recording and transmission of film The moving images of a film are created by photographing actual scenes with a motion-picture camera, by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques, by means of CGI and computer animation, or by a combination of some or all of these techniques, and other visual effects.

Jameson Thomas
Jameson Thomas (born Thomas Roland Jameson; 24 March 1888 – 10 January 1939) was an English film actor. He appeared in more than 80 films between 1923 and 1939. He was born in St George Hanover Square, London. On the stage from his early teens, Jameson first appeared as a "half-breed" boy in '' The Squaw Man''. He made his screen debut in 1923 in the film ''Chu Chin Chow''. In 1929, he starred in '' Piccadilly'' as Valentine Wilmot opposite Anna May Wong. ''Piccadilly'' was a smash hit in England, where reviewers called it "by far the best production yet made at Elstree" and "one of the finest films that has ever come from a British studio."

Today, ''Piccadilly'' is recognised as an accomplished melodrama and one of the best films of the late British silent era. Thomas moved to Hollywood, appearing on the stage with Bebe Daniels in '' The Last of Mrs. Cheyney''. He continued to app ...
