Here's another Vitagraph Aubrey that has turned up. Who knows, with all of these Aubrey's now showing up, perhaps he will enjoy a retro appreciation as Musty Suffer is having now.........ehhhh, mebbee not.

Tommy,

You might have mentioned it also has Babe Hardy and Monty Banks

[Tommie Hicks]

I posted this link while I had access to the internet but before I watched it, and yes I was surprised to see Monty Banks, but for a few seconds? It looks like only a few minutes are missing from this print, so it is interesting to see Banks for what amounts to a cameo.

I have also been looking at Aubrey's SQUEEKS AND SQUAWKS and there is a chap I believe to be Ted Jefferson. My mpeg is not a good copy so I can't tell for sure. Does anyone have any stills or paper of this film? The guy I think is Ted plays three different roles. If it is Ted, he shares a scene with Oliver Hardy, and if it is Ted in S&S, how ironic would that be?

I sense another round of suspected Ted Jefferson sightings warming up.

Dick Smith (Mr. Alice Howell) turns up briefly as the guy with the mustache and hat who gives Hardy the satchel.

Thanks for this link Tommie.

Guess you'll now have to post SQUEAKS AND SQUAWKS on You Tube for all of us Ted fans...

For those of you in New York City you can see MAIDS AND MUSLIN at MOMA with Donald Sosin on pieyanner and it starts at 4pm tonight.

The quality is horrendous, but for historical interest.

Here's my candidates for Ted





I think Ted could be the man with mustache and hair parted down the middle to the left of the bride.



This version of the film is from a 1960's European TV show, so some 16mm should turn up sometime. I would like to see a much nicer transfer of this.

I think both the drunk and the guard are Ted.

Dick Smith has another nice little part at the beginning.

First of all, thanks so much for posting this Tommie.
Great to see it at last.

It would be nice to think it was Ted but it's not an easy ID is it.
His height looks about right but there's something about his body language and facial features that make me wonder.
As you say, maybe some stills would help.

Thanks again.
