PURE AND SIMPLE (Fazenda) - survival status & availability?

[Richard Finegan]

Hi everyone,

thanks for chiming in, wow! What a treasure trove of information.

My friend is researching previously undocumented appearances by Charles Gemora, but he's well aware of and interested in all the other Hollywood gorilla men, too. Which makes the information and credits listed here all the more important! But... is it Clarence Moorehouse as "The Gorilla"-- or Clarence Moorehouse and an - uncredited - "Gorilla"? My friend's inquiry implied that it should be Gemora as the furry fellow.

Thanks,

Uli

The way the names Clarence Moorehouse and "The Gorilla" are presented separately in the cast list in the film's main titles suggests they are two different characters.

I guess it sure would be helpful to see the film, or at least some stills from it.

Production started on this short July 5, 1930....

Hey Frank,
Coincidence! One might say that pre-production started on ME that day too. That is the exact day my Mom was born. (I came along several years later...)
