Re: MAIDS AND MUSLIN (1920)

This isn't SQUEAKS AND SQUAWKS - MoMA has a print of it and in that one Jimmy works as a smithy who spends a lot of time repairing cars. This one is BUNGS AND BUNGLERS (11/24/1919). There's a plot synopsis and shot from the ending wedding scene on page 243 of Rob Stone's LAUREL OR HARDY. This is act...

Re: PLAYMATES 1921 Baby Peggy

It's too tall and lanky to be Cliff Bowes. I've seen this guy in other Century's (he's the one that fills up Wanda Wiley's flat tire by sneezing in FLYING WHEELS '26) but have never found a name for him. The blonde is Florence Lee (a different Florence Lee than the old lady in ASK GRANDMA ('25), CIT...

Re: Couple of "newsreel" type curios...

Both of these are Spanish versions of early 1930s "Race Night" comedies. Any memory of this series seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, and I'd never heard any mention of it until a couple of years ago when New York based animation and silent comedy fan Nelson Hughes started tu...

The rest of the short has him giving his wife the what-for...

Re: Fox Sunshine Comedy Clips

This is a chunk of the 1923 Sunshine THE UNREAL NEWSREEL which cannibalized older Sunshine comedies. Slim Summerville is credited as putting this one together, and there were three more released in 1924. Also spotted Ethel Teare and Jimmie Adams.

Re: Three Rare Sennett-Paramount Clips

In the SALOME VS SHENANDOAH footage you can see ex-L-KO comedian Dan Russell on the right in the audience reaction shots with Ford Sterling. Russell also very fleetingly turns up in DOWN ON THE FARM ('20) so he must have made a brief stop on the Sennett lot after L-KO.
