This forum is nearly identical to the previous forum. The difference? Discussions about comedy from the SOUND era.

Hey Louie, this is truly fascinating news. How about a little more background story on how they came into your hands?

Richard, I would LOVE to tell, but the person I got them from wishes to remain anonymous. Sorry.

I will say we did watch one of the reels and there is a scene of a party where El does a comedy sketch with his toupee which is hilarious.

I'll add that I hope these will be able to be seen again by willing audiences and I have been in discussion with the person about screening them.

Congratulations Louie; you are the man for the job! Even your name begins with an el.

Perhaps the words "El Brendel Rarities" may indeed actually go together at a future Slapsticon.

In addition to my post a couple weeks ago about the discovery of El Brendel home movies, I also recently uncovered a picture of El filming on the set of “If I Had My Way”!
