Re: El Brendel sort of sings

Actually that was kinda funny- and it's nice to hear El in higher fidelity than the average soundtrack.

Louie: Any idea who the two guys with the Stooges are?

Nice picture of Clark & McCullough- you wouldn't suspect McCullough's mind would go so horribly wrong.

Re: MPW review of Larry Semon's THE BAKERY (1921)

I wish I had editing skills- the 1925 Wizard of Oz has enough good bits that with some very imaginative recutting and retitling I could get a funny 1 or 2 reeler out of it- but I'd have to scrap the Oz story and concoct a new one.
