discovered Langdons
Re: discovered Langdons
Thank you for sharing these, Ian! THE CAT'S MEOW and FLICKERING YOUTH are indeed the rarest of the Harry Langdon Mack Sennett films.
Although these are Sennett-Pathés, these prints were released by MGM in Brazil and are in the Portuguese language (not Spanish as indicated on YouTube).
Both films seem to be complete and of course would be worth restoring. That means nearly every Langdon Sennett exists in complete or near complete form, I believe HIS NEW MAMA, THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS and THERE HE GOES are the only Langdons missing a chunk of footage.
A comprehensive set of restored Harry Langdon Sennetts would make a welcome Blu-ray collection.

Re: discovered Langdons
After perusing the broad spectrum of rare and unusual films on this channel I realized this is the account of our friends Jenny Paxon and Larry Smith, sharing a wealth of fascinating movies, clips, and equally interesting home movies. Among many gems are several other rare Mack Sennett titles, including the Alice Day two reelers THE PLUMBER'S DAUGHTER and KITTY FROM KILLARNEY.
Our Gang's THE FOURTH ALARM is here in what's identified as a foreign 43 minute version (haven't gotten to it yet!). There's also other Sennett shorts, a couple of Weiss Brothers Ben Turpins I was unfamiliar with, at least one Educational Cameo, and numerous clips taken at Cinecon, Cinevent, Mostly Lost, and elsewhere.
Another surprise is that the Sennett Pathés were released abroad by MGM. There's plenty of film scholarship as well as enjoyment to be found on this site.
