Re: Stone Cold Restoration
Stan Taffel has written over at NiteVille that it was Rob Stone who stood in front of the tanks of Hallmark's Tiananmen Square in order to halt their desire to liquidate the nitrate holdings of the Roach Laurel & Hardy films and to hand them over to UCLA for safe keeping. Now unless there are 5...

Re: Where's the Fire? (1921)
Chase and Pollard completists note that what appears to be a near-complete copy of the Snub one-reeler WHERE'S THE FIRE? (H-64), directed by Charley Parrott, is being offered for sale on eBay. A Pathegram version of the same film was up for auction earlier this year. To my knowledge it's one of the...

Re: Lou Costello on "Wagon Train" - March 2
I've never seen Dance with Me Henry, but Lou certainly pushes the limits of nausea in 30-Foot Bride of Candy Rock. Jerry Lewis in The Jazz Singer? You mean Danny Thomas? Neil Diamond? Or is Lewis's Jazz Singer the lost masterpiece he made after The Day the Clown Cried? No, Chris means Jerry Lewis, ...

Correcting Ian Elliot on rare langdon short
I saw over on that other minor silent comedy newsgroup that they are again and as usual getting their info wrong.
