Here's a bit more detail on what was going on at the Roach Studios during the first week of October 1923.
Production continued on the KING OF THE WILD HORSES feature.
While TWO WAGONS, BOTH COVERED was still under production by the Will Rogers crew, retakes were also shot on both GEE WHIZ GENEVIEVE and HUSTLIN' HANK..
There was no Snub Pollard film under production at this point but the one-reel comedy unit was busy wrapping up one Charley Chase comedy (A PERFECT LADY) and starting another (POWDER AND SMOKE).
Len Powers continued direction of the Dippy Doo Dads one-reeler THE MAN PAYS.
Stan Laurel's NEAR DUBLIN continued shooting under Ralph Cedar.
Our Gang's production of THE BUCCANEERS continued apace slowing only for some additional shooting on SUNDAY CALM on October 2nd.
Again not mentioned on the CAMERA listings was the Spat Family unit which finished shooting THE DARKEST HOUR, shot retakes on THE GREAT OUTDOORS and began work on POLITICAL PULL.
