Re: Season's Greetings
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my fellow Mafiosi! My son (and his dad, for that matter) is sure to have fun opening gifts tomorrow, as I've been hitting Amazon (for Disney) and eBay (for Blackhawk reels). All the joys and blessings of the season to you and yours.

Re: William K. Everson Audio Lecture Archive
I'd like to chime in. I first encountered Mr. Everson as a guest on Herb Graff's silent comedy programs on Channel 13 WNET back in the early 70s.

This was fascinating! I spent many an hour in the mid-'70s in the camera department of Two Guys in North Bergen, NJ, perusing the Castle Films and Columbia 50- and 200-foot selections.

Re: Essanay Sweedie clip - Wallace Beery, Leo White
Thanks, Ed! I really enjoyed his Vitaphone Movie Memories shorts, which are available as part of a Warner Archives set, Vitaphone Cavalcade Of Musical Comedy Shorts. Snarky, yes, but always good to see rare clips.
