Ruth Roland (August 26, 1892 – September 22, 1937) was an American stage and film actress and film producer.
Early life and career
Born in San Francisco, California, Roland's father managed a theatre and she became a child actress who went on to work in vaudeville. She was hired by director Sidney Olcott who had seen her on stage in New York City. She appeared in her first film for Kalem Studios in 1909 and along with Gene Gauntier was soon billed as a "Kalem Girl". She eventually was sent to Kalem's West Coast studio, where she was the lead actress and overseer of "Kalem House" where all the actors lived. Aged 12, she was the youngest student at Hollywood High School, having attended the school around 1904 or 1905 (there is debate on this date). Roland was Hollywood High School's first homegrown movie star.
Roland left Kalem and went on to even more fame at Balboa Films, where she was under contract from 1914–1917. In 1915 she appeared in a 14-episode adventure filmserial titled The Red Circle. A shrewd businessperson, she established her own production company and signed a distribution deal with Pathé to make six new multi-episode serials that proved very successful.
Roland (Frankish: Hruodland) (died 15 August 778) was a Frankish military leader under Charlemagne who became one of the principal figures in the literary cycle known as the Matter of France. The historical Roland was military governor of the Breton March, responsible for defending Francia's frontier against the Bretons. His only historical attestation is in Einhard's Vita Karoli Magni, which notes he was part of the Frankish rearguard killed by rebellious Basques in Iberia at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass.
The story of Roland's death at Roncevaux Pass was embellished in later medieval and Renaissance literature. He became the chief paladin of the emperor Charlemagne and a central figure in the legendary material surrounding him, collectively known as the Matter of France. The first and most famous of these epic treatments was the Old FrenchChanson de Roland of the eleventh century.
Two masterpieces of Italian Renaissance poetry, the Orlando innamorato and Orlando furioso, are even further detached from history than the earlier Chansons. Roland is poetically associated with his sword Durendal, his horse Veillantif, and his oliphant horn.
A sequel, Borderlands 2, was released worldwide in September 2012.
Gameplay
Borderlands includes character-building elements found in role-playing games, leading Gearbox to call the game a "role-playing shooter". At the start of the game, players select one of four characters, each with a unique special skill and with proficiencies with certain weapons. The four characters are: Roland the Soldier, Mordecai the Hunter, Lilith the Siren, and Brick the Berserker. From then on, players take on missions assigned through non-player characters or from bounty boards, each typically rewarding the player with experience points, money, and sometimes a reward item. Players earn experience by killing both human and non-human foes and completing in-game challenges (such as getting a certain number of kills using a specific type of weapon). As they gain levels from experience growth, players can then allocate skill points into a skill tree that features three distinct specializations of the base character; for example, Mordecai can become specialized in sniping, gunslinging with revolvers, or using his pet Bloodwing to assist in kills and health boosting. Players can distribute points among any of the specializations, and can also spend a small amount of in-game money to redistribute their skill points.
When running internationally, the train was also operated by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB-CFF-FFS); between 1969 and 1979 its operators included the Italian State Railways (FS).
The train was named after the statue of Roland that was erected in the market square (Rathausplatz) of Bremen, Germany, in 1404 and has since become a symbol of that city. The Roland depicted in the statue was a Frankish military leader under Charlemagne.
Over the years, the termini, route, classification and formation (consist) of the Roland varied significantly. However, in view of the train's name the route always included Bremen Hbf, in Bremen. When introduced in 1939, the Roland was a Fernschnellzug (FD). After its post-war revival in 1952, it ran as a Schnellzug (D). After about 1956, it was a first-class-only F-Zug.
THE HAUNTED VALLEY (1923)- “The Brink of Eternity”- Ruth Roland, Jack Dougherty, Francis Ford
Of all the major silent serial queens, Ruth Roland’s work is perhaps the most underrepresented today for home viewing. Here’s to changing that! This fantastic chapter of Roland’s 1922 serial “The Haunted Valley” was produced by her own film company, “Ruth Roland Serials inc”, of which you can see a title card in the beginning. Not to give too much away, but it (literally!) ends on a cliffhanger! Huge thanks to Christopher Snowden for loaning me his 8mm film print to scan and score. Enjoy!

The Voice of Hollywood, Ruth Roland and Charles King Singing Happy Days are Here Again 1930 F260
"The Voice of Hollywood" was a series of musical comedy shorts produced by Tiffany Pictures, from about 1929-1932. It was generally a spoof radio show that included all the stars of the day.
This is a clip taken from episode 13 of series one dating to June 1930. It includes the singer actor Charles King (b1886-d1944) singing "Happy Days are Here Again" (written by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen, and first made a hit by Leo Reisman and his orchestra in 1929). The song became a bit of a defiant anthem in post Wall Street crash America.
This is interesting because this song was the finale to the 1930 film "Chasing Rainbows", which was an important early talkie. However, the scenes with Charles singing this song were lost in the MGM vault fire of 1965. I have found no other film of Charles King ...
