  1. Although I can do without the man, I really have to respect the fact that people "voted yay" for him at the box office- and big time at that. He was one of, if not the top star for a while. That being said, one has to ask why. It was him, with his humor and vitality to be sure, but it was also the whole Andy Hardy package which also included a cozy fictional and idealized small town, and a father figure in the form of Judge Hardy. This is somehow the way Americans wanted to see themselves, and they enjoyed identifying with the spunky young Andy Hardy. It was also a sentimental and idealized family life, the 1930's films a predecessor in spirit to the family sitcoms of the 50's, like "Father Knows Best", "Ozzy and Harriet" and "Leave It to Beaver". America loved Rooney because he represented "Main Street". Thelma
  2. On the thread named "Seeking Copy of Hollywood Revue of 1929", we are a work in progress towards showing 1920's related film materials. Some people have loaded youtube footage, both entire film and portions as well. More will be coming there in the future. There is a lot of historic research and preservation going on there!

  3. How do you post videos from youtube on these message boards? Thelma
  4. Thanks for the "Syncopation" and "Gold Digger's" finale links. We will have to talk about indexing these posts somehow, especially the ones where we are making a submission of picture, link or file. If we post enough youtube links here, then we will have effectively created a "sub-TCM or sub-On Demand" feature here! Something to think about! Thelma
  5. Dear modeltrains, The metaphysics of it all is that O gaugers go to Nirvana, HO Gaugers are reborn as donkeys! Thelma
