Mabel Normand's Hal Roach comedies

Post by Gloria Rampage » Mon Feb 11, 2013 9:57 pm

Having seen two of Mabel Normand's Hal Roach comedies, THE NICKEL HOPPER and RAGGEDY ROSE and enjoy them very much. I was wondering if her other comedies for Roach SHOULD MEN WALK HOME?, ONE HOUR MARRIED are still around?

SHOULD MEN WALK HOME and ANYTHING ONCE both exist (I have prints of them in my own collection) and are delightful. ONE HOUR MARRIED does not currently appear to survive, and does not for some reason seem to have been released in Kodascope or Pathegram editions. It seems to have been a problem picture in general. There are some nice stills from it in my upcoming book.

Forgot about ANYTHING ONCE. So Normand made a total of five comedies for Roach?
