ARE YOU THERE? (1930) w/ Bea Lillie

[Rob Farr]

I have always wanted to see this film and the Vitaphone Soundtrack Project just posted reel 1 on YouTube. Lloyd Hamilton has a prominent supporting role, but he isn't in this reel. And Beatrice Lillie is a delight in anything she appears in. The film is advertised as "lost", but it survives in full or in part at the Museum of Modern Art. I could make a snarky comment like, "if its at MoMA, it might as well be lost", but I will control myself.

I hope more reels will be posted, but until the entire feature is ready, here is reel one. https://youtu.be/AFnQAweF9HE?si=njfUPcQxiZVxN2Ga
