I agree...it's disgraceful! No Leon Errol films!
Oh, you meant Errol Flynn!
-
No Universals!
-
No, but the connection does involve Curly, more than the other Stooges.
Answer coming soon...

Thanks again Mongo for all the great pictures!
That Tarzan still, by the way, is from "Tarzan and His Mate" (1934).

calvinnme:
Another MGM Buster Keaton feature I'd like to see released through the Warner Archives or shown on TCM is "Estrellados" (1930) (the Spanish-language version of "Free and Easy").
TCM has shown the German version of "Anna Christie" so why won't they show "Estrellados"?
The film does exist, unlike the case of so many other foreign-language versions of Hollywood films.
So, please, TCM look into showing it. Thanks!

I've always liked Evalyn Knapp (note that I listed her among the names that I consider favorites in the Columbia pre-codes coming in September, in my original post).
Trivia for Evalyn fans: what (admittedly indirect) connection did she have to The Three Stooges?
Answer later (if I'm able to get back on to post, which still has been a frustrating problem!)

AMC ran all the Blondie movies back in the 1990's, but so far they've not been on TCM.
Let's hope they will acquire them some time.

That last picture is of Chester Morris and Jean Harlow in "Red-Headed Woman" (1932) - MGM.

Rare Columbia pre-codes coming up on September 25!

Thelma Todd, Evalyn Knapp, Fay Wray, Bebe Daniels, Mary Brian, Helen Twelvetrees!
Thank you, TCM!

That short is "Wild People" (1933) - MGM, in Technicolor. The starring comedy team is Harry Jans & Harold Whelan.

By the way, the IMDb listing is incorrect...the character "Elmer" is played by Dewey Robinson, not Eddie Baker.
The short turns up on TCM occasionally.

That sounds like "A King in New York" (1957) starring Charles Chaplin, not Ruggles.
-
A nice extra would be the episode of Ray Bolger's early 1950's TV show in which he performed the "If I Only Had a Brain" number.

Looks great!
Does anyone know what the three vintage shorts will be?

"Clown girl" --
Esther Ralston

The three are:
Ann Pennington
Jacqueline Logan
Billie Dove

Hi Georgiegirl;
It looks like maybe I can finally post again. Let's hope this one finally goes through. This has got to be at least my 40th attempt in the last couple days to get on these message boards to respond to you. Extremely aggravating and frustrating! I wish there were some kind of painting project going on around here...I think I'd rather watch the paint dry than continuously try to get on these boards and being rejected, then if I do rarely manage to get on , then being unable to post.
You asked how I figured out the picture of Penny Singleton was.
No, actually I couldn't figure out what you meant by your clue, and in fact still have no idea. I just had a feeling who it was, and I've seen a lot of Penny Singleton's early films when she was a dancer under the name Dorothy McNulty. (A couple fun ones to watch for are "Good News" and "Love in the Rough", both MGM, 1930).
Hoping this post finally shows up...
-
Billie Burke.
And of course, the movie you're refering to is "The Wizard of Oz".

Penny Singleton (when she was known as Dorothy McNulty) ?

Regarding the posting on YouTube of clips from the short "Windy Riley Goes Hollywood":
The short "Windy Riley Goes Hollywood" is actually from 1931, not 1929 (released May 3, 1931 to be exact).
Here's a review of it from "The Motion Picture Herald", April 11, 1931, page 36:
WINDY RILEY GOES HOLLYWOOD
Educational Pictures.
Not very much. The auto record of Windy Riley from New York to Hollywood and the subsequent excitement at a studio when he works a fake publicity stunt, cannot be rated more than fair. The story by Ken Kling is not at all unusual. Jack Shutta, Louise Brooks, William Davidson, Del Henderson, Wilbur Mack and Walter Merrill do their best but not very successfully. Running time, 21 minutes.

Regarding "The Show of Shows" and "Viennese Nights":
It has been WAY TOO long since TCM has shown "The Show of Shows", and "Viennese Nights" has never yet been on TCM.
But the 35mm UCLA Technicolor restoration of "Viennese Nights" will be shown at Capitolfest in Rome, New York on August 8, 2009.
Info and complete schedule are here:

Anyone able to get to Rome the weekend of August 7 to 9 should certainly try to do so. Capitolfest is a great weekend of rare films shown in a restored 1928 theater, with lots of nice folks in attendance.

Greetings Maliejandra!
Welcome to the Boards!

This movie doesn't match some parts of your description, but it could be "The Roaring Twenties" (1939):

Jean Arthur?
