Re: WEISS-O-RAMA on sale through Amazon from Sprocket Vault
One of the best all time DVD silent comedy collections, this DVD set contains some of the best comedians Ben Turpin, Snub Pollard, Poodles Hannaford and Jimmy Aubrey in several of the funniest and final silent comedies from the late 20's.

Re: Mystery Phoney Chaplin Still
From blowing the picture up it's a man dressed as Chaplin, the hands are a give-a-way. Looks a lot like Harry Mann. He also seems to be wearing a pinky ring on his right hand, if that is any sort of clue.

Re: HAM AND THE JITNEY BUS (1915) Ham and Bud
Always enjoy these Ham and Buds for the sheer unadulterated rowdiness. What's interesting, seeing is the horse drawn wagons trotting in background as are the trolley cars driving up and down the streets. At one time LA had a very good public transport trolley system, but what the hell, got rid of it...

Re: ARBUCKLE RESTORATIONS ON TCM
Had the DVR set for these over a week ago. Just finished watching THE ROUND UP, what a pleasure seeing this for the first time, it was like watching a brand new film. In a sense it is, the restoration was beautiful. Looking forward to LIFE OF THE PARTY later on.

Re: Greenbriar Comedy Team Discussions
There were many movie goers of the 30's and 40's, born in the late 1920's, who were seeing Harry Langdon, Buster Keaton, Andy Clyde and Laurel and Hardy having no idea they made silents. Whole groups of people were enjoying these comedians work in the Educational, Columbia shorts and Laurel and Hard...
