Surprised this is it for Andy. I know he made a lot more and shows a lot more of these need to be made available.
This week we dish out Paul Pain's trademarked expression with The Mischief Makers in KIDS WILL BE KIDS: https://moronika.com/forums/index.php?topic=6958
Thanks for the Columbia journey, Paul. You did an excellent job. Were you planning on doing anything else, or are you going to take a break for a while?I will catch up on the final two shorts you posted in a bit.
I plan on taking a week off and seeing if any other Columbia's have cropped up. If not, I might move into some other features of interest: contemporary RKO comedies with familiar casts, Educational shorts of people we've discussed, maybe even silent Chase and Langdon shorts/features. All depends on availability.
Silent stuff, mid twenties and earlier, is all public domain. There’s enough shorts on YouTube to last a lifetime.
With the Charley Chase silents on YouTube and the talkies being on DVD that’s a series we could go through. If possible I could start reviews for them (also the Mabel Normand shorts, as I want to watch those).
Have you decided on a series yet Paul? I'm planning on starting Charley Chase's Roach silents next week. I can start the threads if you're planning on covering something else.
Do you own any Chase DVD’s or are you going by YouTube? Also, where are you starting? Roach or pre-Roach? Chase starred in a few Sennett shorts early on but also made brief appearances in tons of films where he wasn’t a star. The early stuff can get confusing.
I was going by the films listed by Leonard Maltin, which start in 1924. I'll be watching the silents on YouTube, and the sound films on DVD.
