Re: Silent "Our Gang" question (not the usual one)
Reviving another ancient thread, I can now state that I indeed have found a true Hal Roach print from Onyx Pictures! A print of THE MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY that I picked up awhile back has an Onyx Pictures THE END title on it! A nice print, with original opening and inter-titles, but the replaced Onyx e...

Re: Snub Pollard - unidentified 9.5 clip
If it'll help, the flash titles are: "Right Dress... Hup!" "Number!" "I can still hear someone who is not numbering!" "Right turn... Hup!" "Brrr... and don't forget that immobility is the soldier's finest movement." "Faugh! I swallowed the lot, ...

Re: Martin & Lewis on the radio
I did a two-part article for my Old-Time Radio club's newsletter about Martin & Lewis on Radio, to which I will shamelessly link here: http://www.mwotrc.com/rr2003_02/mandl.htm The series you're citing is actually from the 1951-52 season, and was written by their COLGATE writers: Ed Simmons and ...
