Re: Nitrateville Nitwittery:Harry Langdon's Cameo in WASHEE IRONEE
It seems like the "nameless one" "Uncle Claude" or whoever it is ,sees a character in a film and thinks it is Harry Langdon, when it obviously is not. This character is obviously hallucinating. Hopefully someone at IMDb spots the error

Re: Nitrateville General Jackassery: Film Speeds
Yes, this is a very old subject. In my opinion those Video Yesteryear silent films were the worst when it came to projection speed. They had two reelers at 35 minutes
