Nitrateville: Two complimentary Threads
Ya know, over at that sorry little site right now are two threads that are mutually complimentary, the former is "When Death Appears Wonderful" and the latter is the announcement of the new seven-hour restoration of NAPOLEON. Yep, at the end of viewing a seven-hour version of NAPOLEON, dea...

Re: Her Friend The Bandit
It's so cute that Charlie spells her name as "Mable." Oddly enough, he was not the only one, I've seen Normand's first name spelled that way in a number of reviews and even some of the Mutual press material for the Keystones. Odd because I've never known or known of anyone named Mabel who...

Re: Her Friend The Bandit
I’ve always thought one of the most interesting pieces of evidence that Chaplin may not be in HER FRIEND THE BANDIT is the fact that he does not include the title in his early handwritten 1914 filmography. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53537094479_4e11319142_b.jpg Now admittedly, he does miss ...

Re: Her Friend The Bandit
Thank you Thierry - that's exactly the information I was seeking! Richard We’re glad you’re happy Richard, but I hate to tell you, with all due respect to Thierry, it’s still nothing but a guess, an educated guess perhaps, but still a guess nevertheless. Unless Thierry was physically present at the...

Re: POKER WIDOWS (1931) Arthur Stone, Patsy O'Leary
It has always boggled my mind just how clueless Mack Sennett was about Talkies. Here was the man who had made dizzyingly fast paced silent comedies who didn't seem to have ever figured out sound comedies needed pacing as well, and he didn't even seem to figure it out after several years! Didn't he w...
