LAUREL & HARDY SOUND COMEDIES
- THE STOLEN JOOLS
(2) - 1931.
Star-packed, including Laurel & Hardy, promotional short subject intended to raise
funds for the National Variety Artists tuberculosis sanatorium, produced in association
with Chesterfield cigarettes. Plot involves the investigation of the reported theft of
Norma Shearer's jewelry. Made by the National Vaudeville Artists (NVA) as part of a
charity campaign and distributed free to theatres in 1931. After the showing a live
speaker would come out and request donations. The film was rediscovered in 1972 in
Britain, where it had been released in 1932 as "The Slippery Pearls," one of the
Masquers Club comedy series for RKO. Subsequently a U.S. print was discovered and the
film's true title, origin and purpose were at last known. Mint in the OB - $39

Comedies - (1929-1935) Classic Hal Roach sound shorts from the greatest comedy team.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN MUTUAL COMEDIES

-
THE
PAWNSHOP - 1916. Charlie,
the not-so-punctual and dependable pawnbroker's
assistant, starts his day with his usual duties
at the pawnshop--a bit of dusting; some
polishing up, and above all, a lot of
quarrelling with his co-worker. Before long, a
customer arrives--what a fabulous opportunity
for Charlie to exhibit his subtle technical
skills, and to give his critical scientific
evaluation with the use of a rusty can-opener.
Mint condition print in the OB - $69
-
ONE A.M.
- 1916.
Charlie comes home drunk. Forgetting his key, he climbs

goes through the door. The rest are equilibrium gags,
the central one being with his collapsible wall-bed.

RUNAWAY TRUCK - An action
packed episode from the 1959 TV series "Sky King" starring Kirby Grant. Sky learns that a neighbor, driving a truck full of children back from
a picnic has accidentally taken an overdose of sleeping pills. Sky
uses his plane "The Songbird" to locate the truck and stop it. Directed
by legendary Republic western and serial director William Witney. Mint print on 2x400'
reels in the OB - $49
-
FARO NELL - 1929 Al Christie
sound comedy starring Louise Fazenda. It has a brand of humour that
you either get or you
don't. If you don't, you
are likely looking at it
on the surface too much.
The melodramatic
awfulness of the
dialogue is clearly an
intentional throwback to
the silent 'horse
operas' of 20 years
earlier. Pre-code sexual
innuendo abounds in this
one but you need to be
paying attention to
catch most of it.
Altogether, FARO NELL is
a comedic gem that
deserves rediscovery. Near Mint 400' - $39

-
THE DENTIST
(2) - Classic W.C.
Fields 1932 Mack Sennett comedy. After preliminaries with ice
and golf, dentist Fields
turns to the problems of
his patients. He
wrestles one woman all
over the office during
an extraction. One man
is so heavily bearded he
can't find the man's
mouth and uses a shotgun
to flush out birds.
Excellent+ used
condition - $29
-
COPS - 1922
Buster Keaton comedy
classic. Through a
series of mistaken
identities Buster winds
up with a load of
furniture in the middle
of parade of policemen.
An anarchist's bomb
lands in his carriage.
After lighting his
cigarette with it, he
tosses it into the ranks
of police. When it
explodes the police
chase him all over town.
Great syncronized music
and sound effects track.
