New films on the National Film Preservation Foundation site
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2016 10:25 pm
Hello all
Wanted to mention that the National Film Preservation Foundation posted three new American films on their site today. They are the Happy Hooligan cartoon A SMASHUP IN CHINA (1919), and two comedies - WHO'S WHO (1910) and WHEN CIDERVILLE WENT DRY (1915).
They were preserved by a combo of the NFPF, EYE Filmmuseum, LOC, and Colorlab. The notes for the cartoon are by J.B. Kaufman, the scores by Michael Mortilla, and yours truly is responsible for the notes on the two comedies.

WHO'S WHO is a nice and early Essanay where you get to see a lot of outdoor Chicago shots (and J. Warren Kerrigan), and WHEN CIDERVILLE WENT DRY is the only known surviving film of the short-lived Esperanto Film Co.
