Re: Book Reading

Here are the three you mentioned you didn't remember. Thanks for the links. I think I may be interested in reading The Daughter of Fife soon. I'm still in Penrod now. Speaking of which... man, the racism in that book is horrendous, isn't it? He even refers to P's black friends as lower evolutionary...

Re: Book Reading

I was hoping Dawn O’Hara would be in there. :D I don’t remember mention of Patty, The Scarlet Coat, or A Daughter of Fife. I’ll have look back at those.

So I guess you’re saving the rest of Minnie to savor? :)

Re: Book Reading

The 60th, you're coming along! Off the top of your head, what was your favorite of them?
Maybe Minnie Herman; or The Curse of Rum?? :P

Louis Prima

This short, Swing Cats Jamboree , is from 1938 and features Louis Prima and his band. If his voice sounds familiar, thirty-some years after this, he voiced a character in a well-known Disney movie of the '60s. Can you guess who? :) This is the first I'd encountered of him and his act aside from that...

Huh, TIL that The Plastic Age had two silent adaptations. Thanks!
Yes, I was surprised at that, also. Too bad it's not extant—a comparison between it and the Bow one might be interesting.

Re: Brace yourselves. Clara Bow is about to get a lot of attention.

Maybe there will be demand for Her Wedding Night and Kick In to see some type of commercial release. Not holding my breath, but... *crosses fingers* Hey, it could happen. That kind of spotlight from a major popular artist has the capability to get things moving. Maybe a dvd producer will see dollar...

Anyone know who these are? I want to say the actress is Norma Talmadge...?
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.

Re: Dark Shadows

Re Re 475 Dumb decision to do a closeup of him breathing. I guess since they knew it would be a quick shot, no one would notice. But I did even before I rewound to make sure. I didn't notice it. :oops: And I remember looking closely at it because of odd looking blue-bag thing they had over where the...
