Lily of the Alley
''Lily of the Alley'' is a 1924 British silent film drama directed by Henry Edwards, who also starred in the film with his wife Chrissie White. ''Lily of the Alley'' was filmed in 1922 and given trade showings in early 1923, but its general release to cinemas was delayed until February 1924 due to various problems within the British film industry at the time.
==Background==
''Lily of the Alley'' was experimental in form, with Edwards attempting the innovation of producing a coherent screen narrative entirely without the use of intertitles. The film is regarded as significant in cinema history as the earliest documented feature-length dramatic silent film to be made consisting solely of visual sequences without any titling to explain the action to audiences, pre-dating the next-known example (a 1923 German film called ''Schatten'') by several months. The film's release was greeted with great interest, but contemporary reviews seem to suggest the finished product to have been a praiseworthy attempt rather than an unqualified success, with the subject matter of the ups and downs of a husband/wife relationship lending itself less well to the absence of titles than a more visually driven action or comic storyline would have. ''The Bioscope'' felt that Edwards' self-imposed restriction "leads to some rather far-fetched ways of conveying simple ideas", although ''The Times'' considered that the film was still "an intrinsically absorbing drama, coherently presented".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lily of the Alley / BFI Most Wanted )〕
