Newly rediscovered Arbuckle shorts?

Postby Louie Despres » Fri Dec 02, 2011 12:15 pm

Hey all,
Rob Stone posted over at Nitrateville that he and Brent Walker were checking out some nitrate a couple of weeks ago and stumbled across "two otherwise non-existent Roscoe Arbuckle shorts!!". Anyone have details on this find?

FATTY AND THE HEIRESS (1914) is one of them.... I'll check my notes at work for the other title. Pretty good short but may end being no big deal.... I am sure Richard Roberts has it on 16mm!!!

Great news! Any "new" Arbuckle is just what the doctor ordered!
