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

Re: Stan's brother Ted
Here are some frame grabs from Educational's HIGH AND DRY (1921). I think Ted is in this.

Re: Answering Tommie Hicks "What Song is This?
Thanks, Richard. One neat manifestation of being a silent comedy fan in the age of VHS was becoming hot jazz fans from the soundtracks of tapes from Grapevine and Videobrary. I would be most grateful if some of you fellows could take a crack at some others: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSqo_wmpw...

Re: Mack Sennett comedies in Variétés, 1929?
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.

Re: Nitrateville Nitwittery: WHEN COMEDY WAS KING
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...

Re: Nitrateville Nitwittery: WHEN COMEDY WAS KING
What has really hurt BD among the old time comedy fans is that the latest BDs of Chaplin and Keaton had a washed-out and a little out of focus look. The older DVDs, while not as resolute as BDs, looked better. IMHO the home medium to watch silent comedy with the best resolution is a 16mm original re...
