Who is Gloria

Oliver Pease gets a dose of courage from his wife Martha and tricks the editor of the paper (where he writes lost pet notices) into assigning him the day's roving question. Martha suggests, "Has a little child ever changed your life?" Oliver gets answers from two slow-talking musicians, an actress whose roles usually feature a sarong, and an itinerant cardsharp. In each case the "little child" is hardly innocent: in the first, a local auto mechanic's "baby" turns out to be fully developed as a woman and a musician; in the second, a spoiled child star learns kindness; in the third, the family of a lost brat doesn't want him returned. And Oliver, what becomes of him?

Perhaps second only to Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor has become one of the best-known female disco artists from the '70s due to the ongoing success of her monster 1979 hit (and subsequent "woman's anthem"), "I Will Survive." Born Gloria Fowles on September 7, 1949, in Newark, NJ, the singer (who began going by Gloria Gaynor by the early '70s), first sang as part of the obscure R&B outfit the Soul Satisfiers before being discovered by MGM Records head honcho Mike Curb (eventual leader of the Curb label and Lieutenant Governor of California), who decided to sign the singer to his label after several auditions.

Long considered lost, a print of this 1922 silent melodrama was rediscovered in a private collection more than eighty years after it first delighted audiences. Sam Wood (A Night at the Opera) directs Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino–two of the era's biggest stars–in their only screen pairing. While on honeymoon with her wealthy but dull new husband, an aristocratic woman (Swanson) falls desperately in love with a handsome nobleman (Valentino) who sweeps her off her feet and away on a globetrotting adventure. "A cause for celebration. A testament to the extraordinary artistry of silent cinema" (Martin Scorsese).

Gloria Lynne recorded many albums for Everest in her early days, slipped away into obscurity and then in the 1990's made a comeback. An excellent singer whose style falls between bop, 1950's middle-of-the-road pop and early soul, Lynne was always capable of putting on a colorful show.
