Yesterday was great. I wish more of her contemporaries were represented this month...John Gilbert; William Haines; Ramon Novarro; Wheeler & Woolsey; Lupe Velez...

It's been years since TCM has played it.

Clearly the best day of the month.

Here are 10, off the top of my head... 1. THE LAST WARNING (Universal, 1929) 2. RETURN OF THE TERROR (First National, 1934) 3. DECEPTION (Columbia, 1932) 4. TRICK FOR TRICK (Fox, 1933) 5. Evelyn Ankers @ Universal 6. Olsen & Johnson @ Universal 7. THE GREAT IMPERSONATION (Universal, 1935) 8. NIGHT LIFE OF THE GODS (Universal, 1935) 9. Fay Wray's three 1934 Universal releases 10. Paramount pre-Codes (Bow; Carroll; Wray; Powell; Chevalier; Fields; et al)

Back in 2004, they showed TRICK FOR TRICK (1933) a rare Fox title I'm dying to see. Wish TCM could get their hands on it.

July was a great TCM month.

LOL...that had scam written all over it!

Anyone have a list of his extant silents?

For 20+ years, the classic Universal monsters were on television (supplemented by magazines such as "Famous Monsters" and "Castle of Frankenstein"). Most people were familiar with Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney, Jr. Many even knew John Carradine, Lionel Atwill and George Zucco. Around 1980, these films (and black & white films in general) began disappearing from the general public. The result: little demand for something unfamiliar.

The Gloria Jean post inspired me. Here are 20 leading ladies closely associated with Universal Pictures during the "Golden Age" and the number of Universal features each played in. Wouldn't it be great to see these titles on TCM?... ANNE GWYNNE = 40 NAN GRAY = 29 EVELYN ANKERS = 28 CONSTANCE MOORE = 26 ANNE NAGEL = 26 PEGGY MORAN = 22 DEANNA DURBIN = 21 MARIA MONTEZ = 20 IRENE HERVEY = 19 PEGGY RYAN = 19 GLORIA JEAN = 18 GLORIA STUART = 18 LOUISE ALLBRITTON = 17 MARTHA O'DRISCOLL = 16 JANE FRAZEE = 14 ANDREWS SISTERS = 13 ELYSE KNOX = 11 VALERIE HOBSON = 10 RAMSAY AMES = 8 ACQUANETTA = 5

Why are you starting with 1935?

I don't think Lugosi's NIGHT OF TERROR (1933) has ever played on TCM.

Two Thelma Todds in two days, HIPS HIPS HOORAY and SON OF A SAILOR. Now let's get the recently canvceled DECEPTION back on the schedule.

We definitely need those on TCM. And the very rare NIGHT LIFE OF THE GODS (1935) too!

I want to be rid of the phrases "that being said," and "having said that"! Please stop the insanity!

I'd like to see more of Richard Barthelmess on TCM...his pre-Code talkies and his surviving silents.

ZaSu Pitts and Slim Summerville were teamed in a number of Universal pre-Code features. Have they ever been seen since?

Double check. I think it's been removed from the schedule.

Yes. I meant they are needed on TCM. Listening programmers?

Yes. It's a reminder to the programmer(s).

I have several of them too. They are needed on TCM.
