Yes, it's a shame that they don't just upload them to the Internet as soon as they're digitized. Then again, I guess it existing doesn't mean it's digitized yet.

a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...

It's from this film. I thought that looked like Buddy Rogers, and I also thought that looked like Natalie, but apparently it is Marian Nixon.

A Google image search turned up the photo in the Wikipedia article.
