Re: Some Paramount Sound Comedies
I don't believe Joe Franklin passed on...he used to show some of the Paramount Christies (that's how I saw POST MORTEMS on his "Memory Lane" TV show in the 1960s). Joe had a huge collection of shorts that he picked up for peanuts from the Select Film Library: Hal Roach Pathes like DON KEY,...

Re: Errol Flynn does the "Mirror Routine"
Has anybody identified the Harold Lloyd one reeler (excerpted anonymously IIRC in Brownlow's THE THIRD GENIUS) where Harold and Gaylord do their version? (I don't mean the bit Harold & Gaylord do together in HIS ROYAL SLYNESS, which resembles Chaplin's business in THE FLOORWALKER.)

Re: Errol Flynn does the "Mirror Routine"
It sounds as though the ever-popular Mirror Routine was being beaten to death during the mid-1940's: in 1944 Bob Hope & Victor McLaglan do their version in THE PRINCESS AND THE PIRATE, in '45 it's Lou Costello & Joe Sawyer in NAUGHTY NINETIES, and then in '46 it's this Errol Flynn picture! I...

Re: Dee Lampton was paid twice as much as Harold Lloyd!
Every time I watch HAUNTED SPOOKS and see Dee Lampton as the butler slam into the sliding doors, I can't help but wonder if perhaps that event didn't trigger the appendicitis attack, or whatever internal injury, that killed him in September 1919.

Re: Keaton Fragments
I once spoke with Rohauer about the different versions of SHERLOCK JUNIOR that I'd seen over the years - which shots were missing from one version, which titles were included that I hadn't seen before, etcetera. He laughed and said, "I did that to confuse the people who dupe my films to sell th...

Re: New Arbuckle Restoration
Thank you, Paul, this is terrific news! Can't wait to get these...whatever you issue will be fantastic, I'm sure. I once spoke with a fellow who worked for Paul Killiam back in the 1970s telling me that Killiam had a storage room full of trims from films he had edited for his various series. The emp...
