Re: Larry Semon Impersonator
Here's something you don't see often an Italian Larry Semon impersonator in a silent tv commercial for a paint company. Have no idea when it was made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKbUURCUA0E Some kind of newsreel with the same guy, Febo Conti. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9lOzR6FdSU What sort...

Cinevent Notes Past: SALOON BAR (1940)
SALOON BAR This is another of those nice surprises that one is fortunate to stumble upon from time to time in one’s film-collecting adventures. An at-the-time unknown title that was put up on the screen late at the end of a while-back Movie Night (nearing midnight after a long afternoon-evening of f...

Re: Roses are Red 1947
Thanks for posting this Dave, but one correction: don;t let the Screen Gems logo fool you, that was stuck on there from some other print. this is one of the Sol Wurtzel-produced B pictures after Fox wiped out their in-house B-picture unit in 1945 (the one they would have kept open for Laurel and Har...

Re: Snub Pollard - unidentified 9.5 clip
That's great Richard! Thanks!! Because of Mildred's appearance and Snub being dressed the way he is, I had been thinking it was possibly GIVING THE BRIDE AWAY. But I'd also guessed you may have seen one of the surviving prints of that one, somewhere along the line... The chase in GIVING THE BRIDE A...

Re: Snub Pollard - unidentified 9.5 clip
This is TOUGH LUCK, the eighth released (December 21, 1919) Snub Pollard Comedy. That is indeed Mildred Davis playing the leading lady.

WHATS MY LINE (1959) Grouche Marx panelist
Continuing with our nostalgia for the days when Television was a tad more intelligent, and also because this is a damn funny show that we just recently caught up with, here's an episode originally broadcast September 20, 1959 of that wonderful Game Show WHATS MY LINE in which, along with the regular...

All I know is that he went to the University of Kansas and I guess now is retired from the Herrick Library. But what happened in between that stirred his interest ...
