Re: Her Friend The Bandit

Pictures posted above as requested. Brochure 28 pages. Chaplin season on pages 1 to 7. In a previous posting I said they didn't screen eleven Keystones (not counting Thief Catcher of course). I should have looked at the rest of the booklet more closely. There was also a season of spy films (Secret A...

Re: Her Friend The Bandit

Thanks Richard - and, on that basis, the ones they didn't have in their hot little hands for that 1964 season were: Kid Auto Races, Between Showers, Tango Tangles, His Favourite Pastime, Cruel Cruel Love, The Star Boarder, Twenty Minutes of Love, A Busy Day, The Fatal Mallet, The Knockout, Recreatio...

Re: Her Friend The Bandit

That's very convincing. For what it's worth (i.e. nothing!), the NFT blurb reads ".... of his sixty-one early short films we have been able to trace fifty-seven", but, if I'm still able to count in my decrepitude, they only showed forty-nine of the sixty-one.

Re: Her Friend The Bandit

Richard (font of all knowledge), Thanks for the reply. I suppose I thought there was just a chance that one of the other Keystones was circulating at that time, maybe on 16mm, under the wrong name. But, you're right. It doesn't matter. Except that, at least, the question and answer are right here sh...

Her Friend The Bandit

I bought a 1964 National Film Theatre London programme guide on eBay. They had a Chaplin season to herald his forthcoming autobiography. Only four of his later films were shown (Chaplin Revue, Great Dictator, Modern Times, Gold Rush 1942 version - presumably the only ones Chaplin would let them have...

Sorry to derail your Van Bibber thread, but greatly look forward to you correcting my "Cameraman " bullshit if you have the time to waste.

Re: Keaton's The Blacksmith

Well, the roadside ad gag is in both the French 9.5mm version and the Glenn one, but the Glenn print had Big Joe walking free from the front of the jailhouse. That little bit seems to be unique to the Glenn version.

Re: Nitrateville General Jack-Assery: A Load of Jitter-Judde

How do you play a banjo, cornet, and guitar all at once? With great difficulty, Richard. That's why I'm retired. Incidentally, I'm perfectly happy with you disagreeing with me disagreeing with you, even if I think YOU'RE wrong etc. etc. drone zzzzzzzz....... Glad we agree on a couple of orchestras a...
