DVD Give Away Collections 4-6

Post by tguinan » Sun Dec 09, 2018 1:15 am

Here's another DVD give away for Collections 4-6 with films as listed below. You have until Wednesday Noon (pacific time) to enter. I'll give away 3 sets. Same rules as the other give away just enter a comment below. Merry Christmas everyone!

Collection #4 has 4 films

Little Country Mouse (1914) starring Blanche Sweet, Wallace Reid, Mary Alden, and Raoul Walsh. Little Country Mouse Blanche Sweet goes to the city to visit her cousin. There she plays cards and ends up owing $250 which is paid for by the evil Wallace Reid who intends to force her to his will. Her honor is rescued by Raoul Walsh. Running Time 13:23

A Virginia Feud (1913) starring James Vincent, Alice Hollister, Henry Hallam, and James B Ross. This was Hollywoods version of the Hatfield and McCoy feuds with a little Romeo and Juliet thrown in. Running Time 16:01

Polishing Up (1912) starring John Bunny. Bunny and his wife decide to take separate vacations and end up at the same hotel with their paramours! Running Time 16:44

Battle At Elderbush Gulch (1913) Yes I know this isn’t rare. It got sent off for transfer by mistake and is just thrown in because there’s room

Collection #5 has 3 films

Mystery of Dead Man's Isle (1915) starring Clyde Benson and Edith Johnson. It was directed by Giles Warren. It's a drama with a sad ending. Clyde Benson sees a girl wandering on what is supposed to be a deserted island in the bay and rows out to see her. Edith Johnson had been shipwrecked on the island and taken in by a group of counterfieters who use her to pass countfiet money. The secret service raids the island and the girl is killed as her rescuer is rowing her to safety.

Dear Old Pal (1923) Snub Pollard and Paul (James) Parrott are best friends to fight about anything and then make up. They fight about horseshoes and the girl they both love Marie Mosquini.

Beaucitron At Home (1922) This is another Snub Pollard short. Snub was known as Beaucitron in France and this film has french title cards but did not have the opening title. I gave it the name Beaucitron at Home but it's french title may have been "L' Heritage di Beaucitron". In it Snub and extended members of his family go in together to buy a piece of property to build homes on. But the propety is so small that they can't all build so they solve the problem by building homes that float from hot air baloons. One day Snub's grandfather arrives carrying a satchel loaded with money to give Snub his inheritance. Snub's toddler is making so much noise he is put out on the front porch where he accidently unties the rope holding the house to the ground and they float away. You've got to see the ending for yourself. I have since found out that this was originally titled L’ Heritage de Beaucitron which translates to The Legacy of Beaucitron!

Collection #6 has 3 films

In The Line Of Duty (1915) Cast includes Marion Warner and William Stowell. Marion Warner plays the Society Editor of the city newspaper. She attends a gala party where a diamond necklace is stolen. Her boyfriend is accused of the crime but the necklace is not found on him. Later Marion learns that he is guilty and must decide between her love for him and doing her duty to turn him in.

Some Baby (1922) Snub Pollard and Marie Mosquini are wed and as they leave the reception are given lots of presents including a box with a live baby. They decide to keep the baby but the remorseful mother decides she wants him back and by then the baby has disappeared! Hillarity ensues as Snub and friends try to locate the missing baby!

Beaucitron Detective(1922) This is another Snub Pollard short, it has been identified as The Mystery Man (1923). Snub was known as Beaucitron in France and this film has french title cards but did not have the opening title. In it Snub fancies himself a detective ala Sherlock Holmes. He is hired by his girl friend's father to track a satchel of missing money. He passes right in front of the thieves while tracking foot prints and finds the missing satchel in which the money has been replaced with a beehive. Hillarity ensues!
