2 short 'films' of Dan Leno

Postby David Denton » Tue Mar 31, 2020 2:08 pm

The first, AN OBSTINATE CORK (1902), from a flip-book, has been around for a while

The second, DESSERT AT DAN LENO'S HOUSE (also 1902) starts about 3 minutes into the mini-doc from the Dan Leno Project

as a bonus, here is frequent Leno partner HERBERT CAMPBELL AS LITTLE BOBBY (1899 or 1900)

Sadly, both passed away in 1904.
