Re: Unidentified Sid Smith
Derp! Well, this goes to show why I haven't written any books on silent comedies! Thanks for the clarification, chief! :)

Re: Unidentified Sid Smith

I'm in agreement - more so Stan Laurel rather than Austin, and the second is assuredly Charles Parrott.

Re: Nitratevile Stupidity Dept: THE PHOTO-DRAMA OF CREATION

Re: LOOSER THAN LOOSE PUBLISHING TO CLOSE
