First up this month is Best Actor Oscar-winner Wallace Beery, a major star from the early silents into the late 1940s.

Here are two on-location pictures of Alice Lake between scenes in the frozen north, in Uncharted Seas (1921).  One is a shot of  the stars (including Rudolph Valentino) and crew (including director Wesley Ruggles and cameraman John F. Seitz).  The other photo has Alice steadfastly tolerating an affectionate sled dog.

We have another image of pretty Jeff Donnell, courtesy of István.

A somber Charlie Chaplin poses with most of the cast from A Dog's Life (1918) on the film's barroom set.
