The 2008 calendar is sold out! Thanks for your patronage. Check back in October of 2008 when the 2009 calendar is available.

The alt.movies.silent calendar features silent film artwork and birthdays of silent-era film stars and personalities, as well as notable marriages, deaths, film openings, and other significant dates. The artwork ranges from promotional stills for major Hollywood releases to rare star mug shots and informal pictures of stars from Fatty Arbuckle to Bela Lugosi.

To purchase next year's calendar, send $15 for the first calendar, $12 for additional calendars, plus $4.60 postage (per order, regardless of the number of calendars) to cover Priority Mail shipping, to

Rodney Sauer
401 Spruce Street
Louisville, CO 80027-1943

If you'd like a copy of Mont Alto's DVD of The General, or one of our new Douglas Fairbanks t-shirts, include an extra $20 (and tell me what size).

You may have calendars sent to more than one address, but please include $4.60 postage per address, and clear instructions about where you want the calendars sent. Make checks out to "Rodney Sauer," U.S. dollars only. Include a note about where to send the calendars, otherwise I'll use the address on the check.

International postage varies by country, and you can calculate the amount at the US Postal Service web site. Use the Global Priority Mail Flat Rate large envelope if available, or calculate the rate based on 4 oz for the envelope and 5 oz per calendar.

For U.S. credit card payments, I've also set up a Google Checkout payment option below. Unfortunately, Google Checkout doesn't work for international orders so you'll need to use a check or Paypal. Contact me with the number of calendars and where they're going and I'll tell you the amount and how to do it. For paypal, send the payment to rodney@mont-alto.com, and please consider adding $0.75 per calendar to keep Paypal's fees from eating into the donation for preservation.
