Re: Super Secret Discount Code for Mack Sennett Vol. 1
For those of you who don't have it yet, I can't recommend it highly enough. Grab it now, it'll be fun prep work for the forthcoming Volume Two. The films look great, the scores are entertaining, and the commentaries are very worthwhile. I can't get over how the Sennett comedies improved from 1916 on...

Re: Nitrateville Answer Dept:Help identify one silent nitrate fragment
Whoops! Guess I was too late. Paul Penna, Jim Roots, and Steve Massa identified the stars (no surprise, there!). The original poster figured out the film's title (probably as I did, by reading your post, Richard).

This doesn't seem to be fully answered yet on N-ville. May I quote you (or anonymously, if you wish)?

Re: Brats - Silent Version
I may be totally wrong, but I think the answer might be "yes". Or at least it exists somewhere. I used to have a silent 8mm Blackhawk print. It seemed to me the intertitles must have been of original vintage, as the font "looked" authentic, as opposed to the more modern looking t...

Re: Keaton's 1947 two-reeler UN DUEL À MORT now on DVD/Blu-Ray
What's the back story of this film? I don't think I've heard of it before. Is the fishing scene by any chance the film that accompanied his stage appearance in MERTON OF THE MOVIES with Jane Dulo?

Re: Nitrateville General Jackassery: Happy Anniversary Silent Comedy Mafia
I'm fond of saying that life is too short to be miserable. To Silents Please, I say, sweet macaroons, pick your battles. Time is better spent enjoying and discussing classic films. Everyone may not always agree with you, Richard, but they can certainly learn a lot from you. I know I have.

SCM has been an opportunity for me to make some new acquaintances and learn a lot. I especially appreciated the heads up on all kinds ...

Re: The Differences Between Mathew "Tijuana" Jones and Spencer Williams
I'd say, based on the top and bottom pics, there's considerable difference, so a mix up is a bit hard to understand. Also, I tend to think Williams was a bit more prolific, having directed some "race" films, as well as playing Andy Brown on tv.
