9:10 pm - The Mascot! 1933

misstiajournal
Thank you for your assistance in naming this for me! There is a bit of talking at the beginning. The rest is mostly sound effects and this is one of the best stop action animations made and is very charming. About 17 minutes total.

i have googled, yahoo'd, imdb plot searched, netflix searched and i cannot cannot find the name of a silent short....i figured this was my last resort!

it was on an extra i believe on a dvd with full length feature....what that feature is, i obviously have no clue....

the short was a woman who made toy dolls to sell, her daughter is sick in bed, one of the doll comes to life (it's stop animation) and travels the neighborhood to get the little girl an orange....the doll is almost run over in traffic and i believe she rolls the orange up to the girl's window and it ends with the girl smiling, happy and eating the orange!

any clue?!?

I hope this is okay to post here - if not, please delete. Thanks!

Just in time for the Holidays, we are offering to our UK and otherwise international friends (Americans and Canadians would save money by going directly to taketothesky.ca) a selection of beautiful necklaces featuring Theda Bara, Valentino, Clara Bow, Jean Harlow, Louise Brooks, Anna May Wong and so many others. Right now we are running a sale - discounting the necklaces from their usual 24.99 GBP price.

Make a classic purchase and give a gift to yourself or a movie-loving friend. These are quality, lovely pieces and I have several of them in my personal collection.

10:59 am - "A Woman of Paris" (1923)

leopold_paula_b

If you don't like Chaplin (who directed, but isn't in it anyway), watch it for Adolphe Menjou's sake! Watch it as a Lubitsch movie.

11:06 am - Gelber & Manning in Pictures

stolen_smiles
Hi all,

New York jazz duo, Gelber & Manning, and dear friends of mine, are creating a new web-series based in the 1920s-30s, featuring burlesque performers Jezebel Express, Justina Flash, and The Minsky Sisters. They just released the trailer recently, and it looks amazing. I thought I would share it with you all, as I think some of you would enjoy it as well.

Please take a peak!

1:23 am - Lost Chaplin Film Found

Lost Chaplin film discovered in $5 can bought on eBay



When Morace Park bought a can of nitrate film on eBay for $5, he was surprised to discover that it contained footage of Charlie Chaplin.

The inventor was utterly astounded when his friend John Dwyer, a former member of the British Board of Film Classification, told him that he had discovered rare footage of the performer, and possibly an unknown Chaplin work. Unlike many nitrate films, the contents of this 1916 can were still intact.

11:36 am - 4 Devils

gallianoparfait
French poster for lost 1928 American film 4 Devils, directed by F.W. Murnau


I had a film buff's dream. I was walking about an old darkened and long-shuttered movie theatre with the aid of a flashlight. In the projection booth, in a corner amid the debris, was a pile of rusty film cans clearly labeled, beneath the dust, with the title of its contents: 4 Devils. I pried open one can; the nitrate print seemed, miraculously, not to be in any state of decomposition.

Eureka! I screamed. For I had found one of filmdom's legendary lost films!

10:50 pm - Blu-ray silent!

zerozander
Just wanted to let everyone know, I found out that the first silent on blu-ray will be available as of September 21st in the UK. And that silent is Sunrise! Unfortunately, there is no word on when it will be released in North America or anywhere else for that matter. Thought I would mention it anyway.

Way to go Sunrise!
