Some nice footage of Flying A's Santa Barbara studio. And I love that shot panning across three different stages, showing three different scenes (or films?) in progress.

Harry Langdon's "Johnny's New Car"
A deep bow to Ed Watz, who found a blurb in EXHIBITOR'S TRADE REVIEW that "Johnny's New Car" with Harry Langdon was indeed filmed by Sol Lesser. Details here: http://littleelflangdon.blogspot.com/20 ... dence.html
