Brent Walker has said he think those frames might be from HOW MOTION PICTURES ARE MADE (released January 15, 1914), which may have had cameos from a number of Keystone stars and Chaplin could have appeared in this while at the studio waiting to make his first starring film MAKING A LIVING. RICHARD M...

That's very convincing. For what it's worth (i.e. nothing!), the NFT blurb reads ".... of his sixty-one early short films we have been able to trace fifty-seven", but, if I'm still able to count in my decrepitude, they only showed forty-nine of the sixty-one. Well, I think there's a big d...

I think this is a good example of what Glenn is talking about, an ad from Western Import, the British Distributor of Keystone Comedies: https://ia801509.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?id=bioscope-1914-10&itemPath=%2F14%2Fitems%2Fbioscope-1914-10&server=ia801509.us.archive.org...

Sorry to derail your Van Bibber thread, but greatly look forward to you correcting my "Cameraman " bullshit if you have the time to waste. Kind Regards, Richard Warner It's not your bullshit, it was fine, it was the lhl12 nameless one. That old Films Inc print wasn't a blowup of a 9.5mm p...

Ya gotta love it these days with that sorry little site when someone actually asks a question that requires some amount of actual Film History knowledge and either one of two things happen, the thread will go off with a load of blathering tangents having absolutely nothing to do with the actual ques...

Here's a seven-minute excerpt of the fifth Buster Brown Comedy from the Stern Brothers, directed by Gus Meins and featuring Arthur Trimble, Doreen Turner and Pete the Pup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZajp5zdBm8&t=56s This excerpt came from the Library of Congress, but I have a nice complete...

Yes, over at the even-more-boring-than-usual Nitwitvile we were having a good laugh about the big deal being made there about a release of THE WEDDING MARCH with it's original Movietone track, I've had a nice 16mm print of that with score and Technicolor sequences for decades, and it was far from a ...

Not a bad little industrial at that, either. Assistant director Eddie Santa served the same function on a number of late Columbia two-reelers, often with The Three Stooges (he was the A.D. on the 3-D SPOOKS shortly after this). Well, you noticed that this was a Screen Gems Production, this was shot...
