I wonder if Snub Pollard's inclusion in the SITR scene was coincidental or part of the homage to the Keaton scene. Its likely the former as Snub would not be recognized by the people who still remembered him.

Though I have a monochrome file of this title I did check this out anyway and it had a wonderful tint to the print I had not seen before. However I found a link on Youtube on this film's page for Vernon's CORNFED (1924), a title that has eluded me before now. I noticed a cameraman credit for Alfred ...

This woman has been identified as Irene Bordoni but I think its Mabel Normand.

I think the Jimmie Adams film is DR. QUACK (1927). That's the only Adams Christie Paramount film I have nothing on and the costuming matches no images of Adams Christie Paramounts wearing that get-up on the stuff I have access to. Adams does not wear a topper in GOOFY GHOSTS.

The still on the upper right is Lige Conley, George Gray, and Harry Thaw from BATTLING KANGAROOS (1926) The one on the lower left is Larainne Eddy, Jimmie Adams,and Billy Engle from some Christie Paramount short Circa 1927-1928.

This is a very sad question: Why isn't silent or early talkie comedy more popular than ever? Why doesn't a silent comedy media item sell millions? Mozart still sells millions of units every year, Shakespeare still sells out theaters. Perhaps today's folks have way too many entertainment options. May...

This film is actually THE MIDNIGHT CABARET (1923).
