Finding out that MOPEY DOPE is the last solo Harry Langdon starrer might not shatter the earth, but I think it is darned significant, Louie.

Definitely not an upgrade on SLIPPING WIVES. I'm really saddened by Mr. Agee's travails and misfortunes, but I'm glad that you at least got the original set for all your investment and trouble, Louie.

Louie, this set was to have a new rendering of SLIPPING WIVES from a European 35mm negative, it was rather dupey and off centre in the first "Lost Films" series.

Almost all the same names appear in the Mutual ads reproduced on pages 6 and 7 of W.K. Everson's American Silent Film . And it looks like Edgena d...

I just came across this December obituary piece in the Telegraph, thought it might be of a little interest as Miss Castle, briefly a Fox contractee, appeared as El Brendel's niece in MR. LEMON OF ORANGE and made a brief stop at Sennett for FALSE IMPRESSIONS, also working in some Educational and Vita...

Thank you, Richard, for weighing in on the matter, and I'm grateful to you and to Frank for providing all the details (and most embarassed that I never noticed the Langdon double in the last shot, which I'm going to blame on my muddy video copy). I don't know how close fellow Iowans Langdon and Ches...
