The 1929 version is sound, not silent.

Fans of both "Pittsy" and Patsy can see both together in the 1941 Hal Roach feature BROADWAY LIMITED.

I wonder if they were friends and if during the making of this movie they ever talked about working with Thelma Todd.

Definitely:
John Gilbert
Thelma Todd

> This film has something about that murder that the 41 film didnt have. It was an old Chinese man talking briefly to Spade at the scene of the murder, and then later the Chinese man is named as a witness at the Wonderly trial, as shown in a newspaper story. So, Archers murder had an eyewitness.

Another big difference was that it is revealed that Guttman is killed at the end.

DEEP END (1970)
It's been shown on "TCM Underground" twice in the last 6 months or so.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Expensive Cable Company!
My cable went black just before 6:30 (eastern) and is still out.
Don't they appreciate how important Thelma Todd is?!

That was ON THE AVENUE (1937).

Here's a list of them:

Unfortunately most are probably lost. THE LETTER (1929) is around, but may not be easy to find.

Thelma Day is going swell so far...except that they introduced ASLEEP IN THE FEET as ASLEEP IN THE FLEET.

> Incidentally, I was looking ahead on my DVR guide, and I noticed that one of these Roach comedies with Thelma Todd will get re-aired on the morning of Sept 7th. THE REAL MCCOY has been scheduled during that time, plus another Charley Chase short that Thelma does not appear in, called YOUNG IRONSIDES.

And sure enough they're not on the Canadian schedule. Instead, Canada gets the 1936 movie HERE COMES CARTER.

No, she used the name Peggy Montgomery in the 1930's but now is Diana Serra Cary.

And a few non-Thelma one-reelers have been added as fillers, too.

> Reason I ask is I collect Best Picture winners and nominees on DVD. The best picture collection will never be complete because the first and fifth best picture winners aren't out on Region 1 (US and Canada) DVD. So if the fifth, Cavalcade, has been digitally remastered to it's original glory and will be available for purchase around Christmas, I'd sure like to know about it, so I can cue up to buy it.

I don't know if your owning a copy requires it be an official studio release, but if not, CAVALCADE is shown on The Fox Movie Channel occasionally. You can catch it there...

Kyle:
I loved ALL of those silent movie posters. I came here every day to admire them. THANK YOU for finding & sharing them.
Feel free to post more whenever you can, even if they may not necessarily coincide with what's on TCM on any given day.

Great poster of MY DARLING CLEMENTINE.
But too bad some censor evidently objected to Linda's outfit and painted that white-out at the top of it!
Not very subtle, was he?

These young ladies may hold the record:
Marie Osborne, starting in 1914:

Mildred Kornman:

Mildred used this name later on:

Jean Darling is still with us, and even though she started in 1927, not quite as early as some others mentioned here, she's a good friend so I wanted to give her a mention.

I recently ran the 1933 German original version starring Renate Muller for some friends. Even without English subtitles we found it enjoyable and relatively easy to follow.

But being a MAJOR Jessie Matthews fan, her version will always be my favorite.

I've been there, too. Also have visted her gravesite in Lawrence a few times.

Here's the Canadian schedule for August 30 -

It's nice that as fillers they're including a couple "TravelTalks" shorts with Canadian settings.

If you're not very familiar with Wheeler & Woolsey, you have the chance to see two of their very best on the 30th on Thelma Todd day.
Check them out and let us know what you think.
Don't miss John Gilbert day this coming Tuesday!!! Rock out!

Marie Prevost fans (and I sure am one!) watch for her in PAID (1930) on TCM Friday morning.
