Harry Langdon -- The First Hundred Years -- November 12, 2024

Wichita Eagle, 06-November-1924

Harry Langdon's career at the Mack Sennett Studio was a great success, but short comedies did not get much room in ads unless they starred Charlie Chaplin. We see here that Alla Nazimova's Madonna of the Streets was considered the important part of the bill.

Here is a larger view of the bit about Harry Langdon in "The First Hundred Years."

Sometimes the ads included a small image of Harry. This election night show promised that results would be "Projected Upon Victor Dessert's Building" across the street. Patrons inside the theater received announcements.
