I Gogled "It" and it came up with with a listing for a scary Steven King flick. This is scarier 'cause the gal doesn't talk. It gave me shivers to see a gal dating her boss.
I grew down the shore, and remember those air blasts that would hit you when you left the fun house - and this was decades after Clara had to deal with it. LOL
Rumour has it, originally there was no music in these movies. Instead, there were live orchestras playing to accompany them in the theater. These have now been re-made(edited) with music, I think. Good question. And lol.
Yeah, the silent movies originally didn't have music; all the music was live (usually a piano player). Then when they released them on video/DVD they added music to the soundtrack.
In the 1920s, was there ANYPLACE where it was considered o.k. for a man to not wear a suit and tie? The whole concept of dressing like that to go on amusement park rides now seems so incongruous!
But, notice how everyone was wearing suits, and they all look basically the same. Almost as if they didn't really care-but didn't want to seem contreversial-so they just wore what everyone else was wearing..
Her immediate response to his kiss is just about the funniest scene ever in silent films (that I have viewed).

Don't you love how most women in silent films have goth?
LOL, seriously though, Clara was awsome, the prototype of other greats not yet known at that time.
It's unfortunate that due to our litigation crazed society, we can't have such fun houses today.

"It' was the perfect way to show off Bow's sensual, cute big eyed appeal. The actor who plays her boss does a great job as the confused suitor.

@1:26- I think that was what we called a "turkey trot". We also had a "social mixer" at school, which we called the "whizzy". Great fun!

If quickly observant; it can be debated whether or not Clara was actually wearing panties during frames 1:01 and 1:02.
She sure seems intent on covering-things-up a bit soon afterward.
She had more that just "IT".
She had natural talent.
