The Plastic Age (film)
The Plastic Age is a 1925 blackandwhite silent film, starring Clara Bow, Donald Keith, and Gilbert Roland in his film debut. The film survives today not only on 16mm film, but also on video and DVD. The film was based on a bestselling novel from 1924 of the same name, written by Percy Marks, a Brown University English instructor who chronicled the life of the fastset of that university and used the fictitious Sanford College as a backdrop. The Plastic Age is known to most silent film fans as the very first hit of Clara Bows career, and helped jumpstart her fast rise to stardom. Frederica Sagor Maas and Eve Unsell adapted the book for the screen.
