Re: Lloyd Hamilton Wedding Belles 1931?
I just acquired a print of Lloyd Hamilton's Wedding Belles. Head/tail credits and set up is missing. Footage is 600 feet approx. with some splices due to editing. Cast includes: Gertrude Astor, Arthur Housman, and Eddie Gribbon. Plot: Ham is on an Ocean liner trying to get his girl. I thought this ...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
A Very Happy Thanksgiving. Richard, I know that you aren't a huge Lloyd fan, but the turkey on the trolley sequence in that one screams holiday almost as much as the later scenes of wanting to get rid of one's In-Laws. Agnes McFadden Who the holy heck says I'm not much of a Lloyd fan? He may not be...

Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you all in the mafia a very Happy Thanksgiving indeed. Somewhere, someone should be showing, A BIRDS A BIRD (1915), PASS THE GRAVY (1928) and perhaps BRING HOME THE TURKEY (1927), but oddly enough, it won't be me. Though we might be running THE GIANT CLAW (1957), thats always struck me as a ...

Sid Melton RIP
Perhaps not a comic legend, but his passing should be noted, especially after all the Lippert Pictures he was in:

Re: Sennett - Technicolor - Carole Lombard
I have 16mm prints of GIRLS FROM EVERYWHERE, THE CAMPUS CARMEN, AND MATCHMAKING MAMAS. RUN GIRL RUN was available from Blackhawk, so there are a number of prints of it floating around.

Re: CineMuseum: Arbuckle - Keaton on TCM
Kudos to Paul Gierucki and Cinemuseum for the newly restored version of THE GARAGE (1920) that was broadcast on TCM in the wee hours this morning. This restoration, that utilized original print materials from David Shepard/Serge Bromberg, Myself, and others put together the most complete version of ...

Re: THE BOY FRIEND (1928) with Max Davidson
I haven't seen The Boy Friend , but Dino brings up a good point, re "the iceman": Could this be a scene from What Every Iceman Knows ? Don't have a still number & title list to search and compare to, but I did have a glass slide years ago for Davidson's Iceman . Sorry to digress from ...

Re: What's a Head Press For...
It may have been employed that way, but I believe it's a book press, used in bindery to clamp and flatten out books as the binding glue cures. Some artisan bookbinders still have them, like this person (see the sixth photo down): http://windyweatherbindery.com/news/?m=200903 That makes sense as wel...

Re: More ID Help, PLEASE! Free and Easy
Yep, that's Doris too, though sadly, it looks like she's aged a bit in those four years since FREE AND EASY.
