Re: Wanda Wiley
Great! I guess I'll just repost that gif I found (from DeviantArt). Two scenes from the comedy short A Speedy Marriage (1925). Extremely low quality, but it's better than nothing.

Re: Wanda Wiley
Excellent! I enjoyed that article. That is some unusual background for a comic actress. Sounds like she was pretty far along, too. Well, if someone got a tooth damaged in the slapstick goings-on on set, maybe she got a chance to prove her stuff.
The last sentence of paragraph 3 stymied me for a minute before I figured out "thought" should be "though".
I like those gifs. This looks like one of those "a rich relative has died and left you a fortune, but you have to be married by [fill in time]" plots. I wonder how they did that blasting out of the chair effect.BettyLouSpence wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:13 pmGreat! I guess I'll just repost that gif I found (from DeviantArt).

Those are good! The bottom looks as if they are flipping all the way round.
Can you find a good one in the part with the poodle in the bag?

Re: Wanda Wiley
This is a really large one, sorry. Every time I tried to resize it would gain unsightly artifacts.

Re: Wanda Wiley
I actually prefer the longer length of gif. Most good ones are between 5 and 15 seconds, anyway.
