Re: "Dutch" characters and anti-German backlash
Author Rob King deals with these cultural matters in his book "The Fun Factory: The Keystone Film Company and the Emergence of Mass Culture". It's a very interesting read. Many immigrants of Italian, Irish, German and Jewish were indeed forming groups to complain about how they are depicte...

Being this has been in storage for so many years I have no memory of it or even purchasing it from Blackhawk. Definitely from the mid 1970's. Not having a...

Re: The Death of Blu Ray?
Blu-Ray never impressed me. What is obvious, with media/home video companies ramming bluray's down our throats we have more and more old movies/silent comedies on DVD-R's released than ever before. After the success of Warner Home Videos DVD-R on demand service, Fox, Universal and others have joined...

ANYTHING ONCE! (1927) Mabel Normand
With James Finlayson, Max Davidson, Leo White. I've only seen a few of Mabel Normand's Hal Roach produced comedies, RAGGEDY ROSE, THE NICKOLHOPPER and this one posted on youtube. They are really very well made productions and funny. She does some wonderful physical comedy in this one. http://www.you...

This is FOR SAFE KEEPING.
Thank you Dave.
A typical 'gag-packed' Parrott!
Oh yes I agree, Paul Parrott's comedies are loaded with gags. Funny too.

Paul Parrott comedy
Here's a real nice Paul Parrott short with German narration. An attempted translation for a title gave me "The Baron And The Tub". That can't be the correct title. After consulting Richard's Hal Roach book I couldn't find a title or synopsis that matches. Not understanding German, the narr...
