Does anyone know if this short comedy title is available anywhere or is it rare, lost, etc? I acquired the 35 mm version of this title but am having the media group I use clean film and check if it is complete or not. This was one of the 29 Smith Family short comedies that Sennett put out with McKee...

At least you have a few feet that are in good shape and may be very rare. Good luck with the project and BTW on your other thread a very cool vintage projector .

Good luck on that, but perhaps someway to separate stickiness with a film solution if emulsion still on film. I have some old nitrate of my grandfather's that was so bad that it just had a clear frame section due emulsions sticking to one side and leaving the other side completely clear without imag...

Hi Josh, Check with Debbenham group for nitrate transfer, cleaning, and potential restoration depending how stuck together some of the film you have is. They may or may not be able to help you. They can transfer to hard drive, DVD R, or Blue Ray so you can actually watch what you have. http://www.my...

I have the 16 mm version of the Galloping Gertie aka Narrows Bridge Collapse 1940 on 16 mm and the footage is intense if you ever get to see it. The film was shown over and over again in our Tacoma school districts physics classrooms showing torsional wave oscillation patterns and the film drove the...

Would like to see #27 with a good short comedy with Snub.

Thanks!

IF Eastman and UCLA have copies of this title, have you inquired into whether the VHS version that UCLA can be viewed in person at the Powell Library on campus? I was fortunate to be able to view a 1925 title on vhs about 2 summers ago when I was in LA. Wonder what UCLA has on videoreel and/on vhs i...

Didn't know No Sparking was available in public domain. I have a lobby card from this title and would be interested in seeing it. I am in.

Happy New Year!

Hi Fred,

For photo #6 (person with left monocle and dog) can you mention what is written at the very bottom of this still to help ID person in film.

The portion that I can read is "Mabel this is me on the right......"

Thanks,
Dana

Third photo down.........Alla Nazimova?

Looks interesting.

Would like to see this one. I am in.

She did mention that the production was a kickstarter.

She also mentioned all 3 of the recent Davis restorations including this one that Undercrank had available.

Good to see film again. It was well done.

Dana

You were right Mike, I do have the exact set already so please exclude me so others can have better chance to win.
It is a great 3 DVD set.

Merry Christmas!

Dana

Hi Mike,

Is the same DVD as on your ebay store? Or did you add two titles to the DVD? DVD on ebay says 14 films on 3 DVD's so have you added two more and rereleased another Hallroom Boys?

Thanks in advance,
Dana

Glad to see someone else was able to view The Rainbow Trail 1925. Eastman Archives has probably the only 35 mm print of this film that I know of. https://collections.eastman.org/objects/70601/the-rainbow-trail?ctx=aaaa78d5-4db4-4d97-a7f5-63c5a5b08c98&idx=1 The 1918 films you mention with Farnum both...

Thanks Mike for the second drawing. Very nice of you to make these available.

Regards,
Dana

I would have tried to save: Cleopatra 1917 Camille 1917 She Devil 1918 Last of the Duanes 1919 The Wilderness Trail 1919 The Rainbow Trail 1925 (a better copy than what is available on 16 mm) Black Jack 1927* Fox Movietone Follies 1929* and any other mix films that I could carry before the fire star...

I was able to rent this for a few bucks and watch it last nite. I like the actual silent film footage of several titles from the cache of nitrate found that the documentary uses throughout as well as the multitude of stills, but can see that some may not appreciate the style without a narrator and t...

Alot of the 9.5 mm treasures out of UK are great, so I would like to enter my name in that hat.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Mike!

Dana

Hoping to see some more Mix films this Christmas (if not in 2020) if they ever come out on DVD. Perhaps Son of the Golden West 1928 or Outlaws of Red River 1927.

Happy Holidays!!

Hi Mike,

Please enter me in your great contest!

Happy Holidays !

It's been about twenty-five years since I've screened "Riders of the Purple Sage" (1925) with Tom Mix. I used to have a beat up, very washed out VHS tape which I gave away several years ago. I recently found a half-way decent DVD (once tinted, it would appear, though now totally B & W), and I watch...

Watched a fun little show that probably was made for the male youngsters of the late 20's, "Marked Money" (1928), with Frank "Junior" Coughlan, Jr., Tom Keene (billed as George Duryea), Tom Kennedy, Bert Woodruff, Virginia Bradford, Maurice Black, and Jack Richardson. Mark Hamilton also appears in ...

Since 1 hour would not be enough time to chat with Bob by phone, I went for a cheaper pledge. lol

I am in .

Hi Jim, My source below mentions Slim in at least one of the serials shown at a theatre or two with a film critic review. https://archive.org/stream/exhibitorsherald27unse#page/n267/mode/2up I read that Andy Takes A Flyer 1925 was at one time part of the EmGee Films collection (@2010 thread on this ...

Hi Robert, None of these titles were at the UCLA archives catalog. When you enter the titles in LOC archives, you will see that the following are complete at LOC: Bitter Fruit 6 reels 35 mm nitrate with dupe -, Bromley Case 5 reels 35 mm nitrate with a dupe -, and Chains of Evidence 5 reels 35 mm ni...
