He also had a short stint filling in for Joseph Murphy as Andy Gump in Andy Takes a Flyer 1925 when Murphy had a contract dispute. He might also have appeared as Gump in Andy in Hollywood 1925, both lost and probably not the most memorable Gump short comedies based on their reviews. I just posted a ...

Great list. @10% of all of the silent films ever made. The distributor had good taste in films. Wonder which of the Timber Queen chapters are there as there are very few of the overall 15 chapters that Ruth Roland made. Ucla has a couple of them, I have 2 that are readily available, but intriguing o...

I am currently viewing the restoration of Smoke Bellew 1929 with french intertitles. Avatar to the left is from this film. Huge thrill to finally see this restoration which was at the time was a much cheaper version of the wonderful drama The Trail of 98. The Chilkoot Trail scenes in Smoke Bellew ar...

There may be a lot of supporters of kickstarters even without a musical score.

Scores are always wonderful , but just seeing the silent film for the first time is motivation itself.

If you look at an example of repatriation 10 years later, a good example is New Zealand Archives (Nga Taonga). The few films in the case of repatriation (see link below) that are awaiting restoration, may definitely be funding and availability of archive staff or perhaps the archive has agenda on wh...

I only use newspapers.com unless I have a lead on info then I might go to the city directly and try to get access but only have subscription to newspapers which has been great.

Darren, I counted overall at least 25 different papers for Unholy3 and @ 10 for Phantom (@ 1930). Most often in LA Times, Ny Times, SF examiner for Unholy 3 and for Phantom primarily LA Times and the Standard Union brooklyn ny (@ 1926). Subscription for newspapers is pretty reasonable cost if you do...

Congrats to the winners! Any idea when vol. 2 may be available on your ebay store?

Too Bad I don't live in CA to see this one.

Looks like a great documentary.

Round 2 volume 2 , I am in.

thanks Mike for making these available!.

Don't pass up City Girl 1930. A gem.

Interesting. I sure would like to see the crude sound systems (movietone , rca , etc.) that they used to record sound and then the exact process that they used to put the sound on the film.

Not via references but with my own eyes.

Dana

Silent era.com has some details on this title if accurate. The site mentions sound effects and some talking dialog. Not sure if 2.5 k feet of excerpts at UCLA or if the portion from Portugal has any sound of any kind or are the only portions that exist of the 9 reel original silent version or the fr...

Hi Bert, Since I was always a big fan of Franey, Hamilton, Santschi, and others in the film (hence the reason for the research), the 1931 release info that I read tried to portray it as a suspenseful drama with similar fight scenes that you would see in a later film Ten Nights in a Bar Room 1931 (fi...

In my research to determine the exact role that Mark Hamilton had in the film White Renegade 1931, I found a whole host of photos on a New Mexico Historical Society site. Although the film is lost, the 104 still photos that the society has gives a very good representation of the entire film and it's...

Received DVD today.

Thanks again Mike!

Now that I don't have TCM anymore (thanks comcast)

I will have a little more time to view on sunday nite since won't be tuning in to silent film sunday on TCM any longer.

Josh,

Don't feel bad. I used tiny pics for a few years for most of my photos on this site and now they are no more and the photos cannot be accessed at all.

If I can remember my flickr password , I am switching back to that site for upload purposes.

Thanks Mike. No victory lap for me.

Appreciate all your efforts to allow some of us to see these . I will look for vol 2 to purchase when it comes out.

Regards.
Dana

Hi Mike,

Please enter me in the drawing. Good Luck with your move/consolidations.

More stills from movie available for viewing in link above.

Perhaps if i subscribe now to TCM via comcast there will be even more additional fees added to my bill under some communications regulation; whereby, I can't even recognize what the additional taxes and fees even are but I keep paying the Goliath monthly anyway. Just like health insurance on a state...

The intertitle juxtaposition to the frames with the character I assume is Mrs. Renov sure looks like Tashman to me. My personal experience once or twice with fragments of presumably lost films are that there may some interest for restoration depending on title and then there may not and be relegated...

The link below may be a 25 second montage from the same film? Perhaps it is different than the small fragment you have?

I like the cover to the right with yellow lettering. Back cover black and white looks good.

Congrats Darren. Looking forward to it.....

I originally requested ID assistance on a photo that i posted via tiny pics (site is no more?) a few years back. The photo ended up being from Son of The Golden West 1928 featuring in the photo Sharon Lynn, Mark Hamilton, and Duke R. Lee. I see that another fragment of the film presented at Mostly L...

I would like to see ZIT'S also available. Looking for vaudeville info from 1921 to 1923 in CA specifically. Variety publications scans haven't provided me with much in the way of details.

Lantern back up. Looks like the initial cast for Uncle Tom's Cabin 1927 was posted in the March 1926 edition of Motion Picture News (page 1289, March 20, 1926 edition on Lantern). Was going to paste it here via Tiny Pics , but their site says they are closing today?, so will try it via my flickr acc...
