Sorry- I could see them all on my phone and laptop . I have revised my first post by removing the https from the image urls and changing them to http - has that helped any? If not, can you see the image below, which I downloaded to an eBay temporary file? LOBBY CARD http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTU5WD...

David Totheroh, Rollie's grandson, has confirmed to a huge Chaplin fan that the young woman is Kathryn REED, later Robert Altman's wife. Then is it possible the copy of this film belonged to the recently deceased Reed- and if so, was it removed from her possession with either her full knowledge/app...

16mm black and white film showing a rare glimpse into Chaplin Studios backlot near Sunset Blvd and La Brea Ave in Hollywood. My sense from visual clues is that this was shot after 1947 and prior to the end of 1953 when Chaplin Studios was sold. The reel is marked with a piece of tape reading "Kathr...

What do you do with your ears?

2. Has anyone ever witnesssed an audience member taking a break during a Gene Kelly extended dance sequence? I have!!!

George Jessel singing 'My Mother's Eyes' in Lucky Boy (he does this multiple times, so keep the corn a-poppin'.)

A maudlin blend of corn & onion - I hold my nose, but I can't stop the tears.

And talk about inexpensive! Simply enter an auditorium - whisk broom and dust pan in hand - while the previous screening is still in progress, and you'll find a carpet paved with still-warm kernels, with your only competition being over-fed mice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0TK55bCAH0 "Popcorn"...

For this thread, let's consider "popcorn breaks" to be any voluntary temporary absences during an ongoing screening, including non-emergency bathroom breaks, reefer and tobacco sessions, and refreshment stand visits. In your many years as an audience member, what scene in a feature, or short sandwi...

In my reading, the monster is Frank Sinatra..... The fact that Woody Allen hasn't made a comedy version does baffle one: Novice neurotic night club comic makes a deal with the devils/mob to become a film director. In return, his waifish girlfriend, living across the park, mates repeatedly with a si...

I could be wrong... But I don't think that's what Jim meant by "stickman?" (I figured it was a euphemism more like - er - "swordsman.") Yes- that's what I thought he meant, though my poorly phrased prior post could lead one to believe otherwise. (I'm a triple-threat poster – too frequent, too unint...

How much of a personal trail did he leave? A quick Schenck search on youtube has him as almost invisible- absent at his own Oscar party; talking more than Harpo, but just barely. Surely there must be something else in the Fox Movietone archives. Click images for videos https://lh3.googleusercontent....

I can't think of one suggested title so far that I wouldn't want to read, and there are quite a few I'd certainly want to buy- e.g. a Schenck book. From what little I've read, I've found Joe to be creepily menacing, especially towards women. Even an inscribed photo to a "friend" ( Herbert "Brennan"...

Yes, you're right - that Chaplin guy really deserves some recognition!! [/size]I just checked. It turns out an ex-wife wrote two books, a pair of sons penned memoirs, then Marilyn Nash told her story, after which, the Chaplin book market seems to have collapsed. Dorothy Gish, I hope will be my cont...

They never get mentioned here, but I have a liking for THE CRAZY GANG. [/size]Considering the relatively cheap prices for their memorabilia- signed photos and books, posters, sheet music etc.- I wonder if they are even mentioned much in the U.K. They are funny - they're sometimes compared to the Ma...
