Re: Dr Vermin Strikes Again!

Now we at least know what series that Official Films BRUCELLOSIS BUDDIES reel comes from! The title card says "Famous Disgusting Comedies" and don't open that rusty metal can, as the film stock still smells pretty gamey.

Re: Under the Radar

Best Vitaphone I've seen thus far is Buzzin' Around w/ Roscoe, Al St John and Pete The Pup. Haven't seen any Warren Doane Universals.

Re: Victoria Forde

Alas, due to a combination of scheduling conflicts, "stuff happening" and, oops, human error on my part, I missed much of the Broncho Billy Festival and didn't arrive until Sunday afternoon. Considered Victoria Forde's comic bits and ditzy charm in Lizzie's Dizzy Career the highpoint of th...

Victoria Forde

Watched a Nestor comedy, directed by Eddie Lyons and written by Al Christie, at Niles last weekend. Victoria Forde starred as "Lizzie" in Lizzie's Dizzy Career, with Lyons as her bumpkin boyfriend and Lee Moran as a butt-kicking director. I found Forde an enjoyably goofy comic actress in t...
