THANK YOU very much TCM for running these silent Laurel & Hardy shorts. Please try to get more of them after the four next week.

> {quote:title=TopBilled wrote: > }{quote}A real surprise was THE INVISIBLE WOMAN (1940), a Universal horror picture starring John Barrymore. > Thanks for digging up all that info! Yes, THE INVISIBLE WOMAN is a surprise (and a very pleasant one) on TCM. But it's actually much more a comedy than a horror picture.

Unlisted short on TCM, Sunday morning , Nov. 6, after movie THE DIVORCE OF LADY X (1938) - BEAUTY AND THE BULL (1954) - WB. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046760/fullcredits#cast

I attend the annual film festival Cinefest in Syracuse, New York every March. Leonard is always there too.

Unlisted short on TCM - Sunday morning, Nov. 6, 2011, after movie STAGE STRUCK (1936) - THE WALL STREET MYSTERY (1931) - Vitaphone (Van Dine series)

> {quote:title=pturman wrote: > }{quote}What are you doing with your extra hour this weekend? What I was wondering was, what will TCM be doing with the extra your? They'd have to come up with something 60 minutes long to fill up the hour opened up in the schedule when the clock goes back an hour. It looks like they are filling in the hour with one of those short features MGM produced to promote themselves and their new product: THE METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER STORY (1950) hosted by Lionel Barrymore and Dore Schary.

> {quote:title=RayFaiola wrote: > }{quote}One of my very favorite character players. And one of the more natural actors of the 30's and 40's. He never seemed to be "acting". He had a very definite personality and was able to bend it just enough to let him play affable judges or devious mayors (DESTRY RIDES AGAIN). He was beautiful as Pa Bailey. He was also outstanding in the highly underrated MAN MADE MONSTER. Bravo Samuel S. Hinds!! > > > > Samuel[/i]Blog.jpg] I agree completely, Ray! And I also have one of those original photos of Sam, on a 5 x 7 card, from 1938.

> {quote:title=scsu1975 wrote:}{quote} > Very affable onscreen, looks like the uncle people would like to have. > > And how about his role as a native chief in Pardon My Sarong? Now that was a stretch. Sorry, but much as I do like Mr. Hinds, I'm always too busy looking at Nan Wynn whenever I see PARDON MY SARONG!

Hey I know that charming mug! But...I'll wait a while to see if anyone else names him. But one thing I'll say - he ain't no relation to Harold!

> {quote:title=Scottman wrote: > }{quote}MELODY CRUISE is a fun musical. Both Phil Harris and Charley Ruggles are great fun in this film! That's one of my TOP favorites too! So much good stuff it it: June Brewster & Shirley Chambers Betty Grable & Marion Byron Bud Jamison The songs The music (especially hearing the first usage of "I Met Her At a Party" that RKO used in so many shorts later). The editing & cool dissolves & wipes, sound, etc.

> {quote:title=Rickey wrote: > }{quote}I've liked Charley Ruggles in everything I've seen him in, great character actor that adds some comic relief very effectively. I usually like him too, but have you seen MURDERS IN THE ZOO (1933)? There's WAY too much of his alleged comedy relief and he almost spoils the horror mood.

Well, to get it over with, yes, one of your answers is almost correct - all four films include coin flipping, although not always to make a decision. I hope it's okay that I was being a "wise guy" and repeated the same link between my four films as was the answer for the previous four - coin flipping or tossing (but of course, picking four different films). Since none of my four films are all that rare (as I noted, all are viewable on YouTube) I'm surprised it took this long to get the answer. Okay, now it's all yours!

> {quote:title=allaboutlana wrote: > }{quote}musicalnovelty, any clues? This one is taking a while, isn't it! But, it's hard to think of a clue that wouldn't make it too easy. Now that this question has been bumped up to today, let's give it a little more time for more views...

Well, I held off on this one for a while...but let's name him now... Harry Bernard (as "Harry" in the 1932 Laurel & Hardy short ANY OLD PORT!).

Unlisted short shown this morning: At 1:47 A.M. eastern time, after feature THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT: GADGETS GALORE (1955) - Warner Bros. Here's info on it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048106/combined One-reel Robert Youngson Production about old cars. Much footage recognized as being from 1927 Warner Bros. silent feature THE FIRST AUTO.

> {quote:title=markbeckuaf wrote: > }{quote}That's a HOT list, MusicalNovelty!! Thanks. I hope it inspires some to look into some of the lesser-known names there, such as: Lillian Miles - there's so much more to her than just REEFER MADNESS. Adrienne Dore - Miss America (1925). Some of her films are very hard to find, but several she did at Warners in the early 1930's can be seen on TCM. Gloria Shea - formerly known as Olive Shea. Short career - retired in 1936. One of my faves...anyone else familiar with her? Edna Marion - in several late 1920's Hal Roach films. Maxine Stone - half of comedy team Ross & Stone. VERY funny lady! (And beautiful, too!) Rosina Lawrence - had to include her. A good friend for many years. Worked with some of the greatest while at Fox and Roach. A truly beautiful lady, young & old, inside & out!

Hint: At this period of history,(WWII), she was famous as the GIs' favorite **** girl. I know Artie was married to a few different actresses, but I always thought this quote was about Lana Turner.

But then the notes on the YouTube post explain that the video was done by the original lead singer of the group in 1986 (so to me that gives it some legitimacy...if anyone shall be allowed to make a video of the song, he may). And it's a whole new recording of the song, done in 1986 (the original was from 1970). So it's neither the shorter original single version nor the full-length LP version - it's a completely new (as of 1986) and different version from the 1970 album & 45 edit. Here's the complete original long LP version from 1970:
