Re: Errol Flynn does the "Mirror Routine"
It's Nick Stuart. I've seen him in some early talkies and also, confirmed it with Steve Massa ... So it must be him! Thanks Robert (and also Steve)! Incidentally, the photos you provided for Steve's superlative LAME BRAINS & LUNATICS are outstanding! Wish I could be there at Slapsticon with all...

Re: WET PAINT (1926) IDs needed
Wonderful stills!! The girl is not Natalie Kingston. Using the cast list from IMDB, she looks to be Helene Costello, Dolores's sister. I'm not sure of the man on the left, it could be a young(er) Henry Kolker, but the cop is Otto Fries.

Re: RKO Two-Reelers
Interesting you should re-visit this thread, Ed. TCM is finishing up New Year's Day showing "Gasoloons." That's this Sunday at 11:43pm ET. I'm hoping this is the start of their showing the RKO two reelers and wonder if this might answer some questions re:who holds the rights now.

Re: short comedies on EYE
