“The Lubin Manufacturing Company Records, 1881-2006, contains photographs, advertisements, business records, publicity materials, and artifacts documenting Siegmund Lubin’s short-lived career as one of America’s most successful film producers during the silent film era. While the collection does not include any full-length Lubin films, it is the largest collection of Lubin textual material in the world. There are seven series in the collection: “Scrapbooks,” “Printed Materials,” “Writings on Siegmund Lubin and his family,” “Corporate Information records,” “Lubin Collections at Free Library of Philadelphia,” and “Artifacts.”
I’ve only just quickly skimmed through about 1/6 of their online images, in search of comedies + comedians, and, besides those of Mr Hardy (above and below), and other familiars — Hitchcock, The Toonervilles, and Reeves (quite a few) — there are some who won’t be getting an SCWP episode anytime soon.
