I Am Discouraged -- November 6, 2024

I am discouraged. How could so many people vote for that creep?

We have to carry on and resist.

William S Hart With His Famous Pinto Pony -- November 5, 2024

San Pedro News-Pilot, 01-November-1924

William S Hart starred in Truthful Tulliver back in 1917, but many of his movies were revived. I like his side eye in the image. 

Danville Register and Bee, 01-November-1924

Wild Bill Hickok was Hart's penultimate film for Paramount. It came after he temporarily retired for three years because when he was accused of fathering a woman's five-year-old child.

Tyrone Daily Herald, 01-November-1924

Singer Jim McKee, his last film for Paramount, was not a success. I find it hard to picture Bill Hart as a singing cowboy.

For Work or Play -- November 4, 2024

San Francisco Examiner, 11-November-1924

Hobart Bosworth (I have always liked his name) was a big tough guy who could act. He had been a friend of Jack London's and produced and starred in a series of movies based on London's stories.

Lloyd Has Out Lloyded Himself -- November 3, 2024

New Britain Herald, 08-November-1924

Harold Lloyd has his arms full as he steps off of a streetcar. Note the live turkey under his arm. Hot Water is a very funny movie.

New Britain Herald, 08-November-1924

Harold looks disconcerted, despite having his beautiful bride, Jobyna Ralston, in his arms.

Omaha Bee, 23-November-1924

"An event all Omaha is Looking Forward to." Hot Water inspired some nice advertising graphics.

Omaha Bee, 30-November-1924

Hot Water inspired some nice tag lines. "Lloyd Has Out Lloyded Himself." "Get Your Laughing Clothes On!" "America's Joy Boy is in Town."

Perth Amboy Evening News, 26-November-1924

Harold and his scary mother-in-law. 

59 Reels of Second Hand Films -- November 2, 2024

New York Clipper, 01-February-1908

The Ideal Film Exchange offered "59 Reels of Second Hand Films." I would like to see the list.

Larry and Dorothy Engaged -- November 1, 2024

Palisadian, 14-October-1924

Comedian Larry Semon became engaged to his leading lady, Dorothy Dwan.

Washington Evening Star, 08-November-1924

Like his contemporary Lloyd Hamilton, Larry Semon was trying to move into feature productions. The Girl in the Limousine was based on a play by Wilson Collison and Avery Hopwood. Larry Semon and Noel Smith directed. First National was going to release the film. The movie was poorly received.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Theater offered vaudeville and movies. The theater is still open, presenting live theater.

Young Frankenstein was one of the first movies I went to by myself.  I think it was at the Metro on Union.  I'm happy that it is a favorite of my whole family. I developed a strong crush on Teri Garr.
