Re: Larry Semon DVDs
Does anyone know what happened to Rohauer's collection of Semon films? I seem to remember he had most of the Vitagraph two-reelers. I would love to have THE AGENT on bluray. @David P.: Is buying a region 1 bluray player from Amazon US an option? Will American bluray players operate with British home...

Eddie Cline an alcoholic?

Re: ATOLL K coming to blu-ray from the BFI
This L&H Bluray is NOT an " All Region " disc as advertised. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JG786KX/ UPDATE: Friends are telling me this British Universal release does not contain High Def Transfers of these films, merely up conversions of standard def transfers. What an opportunity lo...

I wonder how Fay felt working with the original Chaplin one month and working with a phony Chaplin in another month.

Re: "new" EYE Film - NO PARKING 1921
In the Christie/Bobby Vernon short ALL JAZZED UP (1920) the Angel's Flight line is part of the plot. One gets a good look at the Angel's Flight operations.
I remember in the '70's there was a cheesy line of polyester leisure suits called "Angel's Flight."

Re: THE MOVIE HOUND (1927) - Wallace Lupino
The gags in this picture aren't so hot but it was extremely gratifying to see a good bit of Educational Studios. Another gratifying aspect of the film is seeing the guy who plays the dog get some actual time in a comedy. This man was in a lot of Alice Howell and Billy Franey comedies and tons of oth...
