I enjoyed Ed Watz's WHEELER & WOOLSEY book EXCEPT for the Clark & McCullough negative comment. In my opinion, Clark is a high energy Woolsey. As for McCullough's support, it compliments Clark. Thanks Ralph for the nice words about my W & W book. Regarding C & McC, we agree to disagr...

When I was doing research for my book on Wheeler & Woolsey I interviewed people from The Lambs Club in NYC (Bert Wheeler lived at The Lambs in its original location on West 44th Street). Tom Dillon, who became Bert's last partner in 1955, also knew Bobby Clark (Bobby was an active member in The ...

Hi Rich,

Well, I DO enjoy the much-maligned Wheeler & Woolsey ;-)

But I have a feeling the Clark & McCullough films will always maintain an elusive, "creepy" feel about them: Paul McCullough, dull & unfunny...Bobby Clark, frenetic (and unfunny)!

Judging Clark & McCullough by the only legacy they left us -- their films -- poor Paul McCullough as a comedy performer doesn't even qualify for "stooge" status. (Using the term "stooge" here in its exclusively pre-1934 terminology, before being elevated to another level by M...

Clark & McCullough are favorites even if some people don't appreciate them today. When their 1931 shorts were announced in a 2 page Boxoffice ad, It was a big deal. I don't enjoy Clark & McCullough's films for C & McC themselves, but I would never turn down an opportunity to catch the o...

The quality of this title and others here is exceptional, it's easy to envision another Silent Comedy Mafia DVD volume or a Slapsticon Program assembled from these rare shorts -- on many levels, AT CONEY ISLAND certainly deserves wider attention.

Here's another new one - it's AT CONEY ISLAND (10/28/1912) the 11th Keystone release: http://www.thoughtequity.com/video/clip/14160152_s01.do It was one of the early ones shot on the east coast, and then released a little later. It stars Mabel, Sterling, Sennett and Gus Pixley. Thanks again Steve a...
