Transferred too damn slow once again at 18 fps (and this is a Library of Congress preservation, you;d think they would know better), but at least you can see it:

Re: Almost MOSTLY LOST
If you' haven't done so already, join the Friends of Mostly Lost FB page. Lots of up to the minute reports with screen shots. In other words, if you haven't made your deal with the devil and joined Facebook, you are SOL. This comes from silent comedy mafia's so-called "up to the minute" M...

Re: Unidentified Glen Lambert...
The title on this film is THE BATHING BEACH BOOB, it is indeed a Bray Co Comedy from 1928.

Re: Orson Welles plays Falstaff on THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW (196
You right. I didn't think of the timeline before but Welles was holed up in Europe til about the mid-Sixties, hiding from creditors, drinking good wine and squirreling away his treasures in various French chateau's to be discovered later.....like his print of TOO MUCH JOHNSON. And doing a bit more ...

Re: Silent "Our Gang" question (not the usual one)
Reviving another ancient thread, I can now state that I indeed have found a true Hal Roach print from Onyx Pictures! A print of THE MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY that I picked up awhile back has an Onyx Pictures THE END title on it! A nice print, with original opening and inter-titles, but the replaced Onyx en...

Re: Orson Welles plays Falstaff on THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW (196
I would hazard a guess that Orson was among Deans annual twice-yearly guests for the duration of the shows run. And even afterwords. Many of those same guests ended up on Dean's silly Roasts in the '70's -- including Welles. Welles had met Greg Garrison back in the forties when Garrison was a teena...

Re: Cinevent Notes Past: MISSISSIPPI (1935) with W. C. Field
Ron Fields was already busy humanizing his great-grandfather back in the mid-70's when his book came out. And he probably had a rougher road to hoe at that time since WC Fields was at the height of his revival popularity, his films played constantly in the major markets and his personae was known b...

Re: Cinevent Notes Past: MISSISSIPPI (1935) with W. C. Field
Part of the problem with both Curtis's Spencer Tracy and James Whale books was that he was writing about people who were frequently assholes, you just really don't want to spend that close a company with those guys. Yes, totally. Tracy, in particular, came across as an unlikeable bore. But, Curtis....
