C C Burr and east coast production - 1923 edition

[christopher connelly]

Hopefully I can successfully resurrect this old thread. Thanks to the angels at The Lantern, I have just positively identified the Jimmy Aubrey/Oliver Hardy short as THE DECORATOR (1920.)

Which brings us to the obvious next questions:

1) does it survive?
2) Does anyone have any stills with young lady extras in them?

It survives, I have a copy of it.

Wonderful!

I would love to see it some day.

Do you recall how prominently the ladies feature within the short?

I just looked at THE DECORATOR again and they don't appear prominently at all, or at all, period. In fact, apart from leading lady Catherine Myers, there does not appear to be any other women in the short. This short is mostly Aubrey, Oliver Hardy, and Jack Lloyd with Myers even having not the hugest engenue part imaginable. No Helen Morgan.

OK. Thanks for looking.

OK. Thanks for looking.

Next question: Is there a paper archive for Vitagraph which may have info on this production?

Not much, what there is would be in the Warner Brothers papers at USC.
