Re: Sam Gill and Richard M Roberts Zoom Conversation December 19 online
What a wonderful time I'm having viewing this! I'm at the two hour mark and taking a short breather (more than you guys got) and will head back to it shortly. Thank you, Richard, and to Sam as well for this thoroughly entertaining history of the "stars" of circus films of the past. Thanks,...

Julius and Abe Stern
Hi All: I'm well along researching and writing a book on the Century, Rainbow, and Stern Brothers Comedies of Julius and Abe Stern, a follow-up of sorts to my previous book on Henry Lehrman. Is anyone aware of any interviews that were conducted in the past with either of these individuals? I'm well ...

Re: Allright, we'll try this again.........
Wonderful! I was hopeful that I'd be able to add this to my Christmas list, but the release date as announced works nicely for my birthday. Looking forward to it, Richard; thanks!

Assuming this is from MY SALOMY LIONS, Merta Sterling appears in a harem scene as "Fattemma"! Fred Fishback wrote and directed.

Re: Ouida Hill
I think you have it, Richard. Thelma's roles at Century followed on the heels of GEORGE THE WINNER and the earlier HELPFUL AL, and someone has even added her name to the credits of the former film at IMDb.com. Thanks!

Ouida Hill
I've been digging into Century and Stern Brothers Comedies, figuring them to be a natural extension of my L-Ko research. I've run across several mentions of an actress credited as Ouida Hill, but I can't find anything about her anywhere, and her name doesn't pop up anywhere in Steve Massa's excellen...
