The guy is Ralph Graves, who as I'm sure you know, was also appearing in several Frank Capra pictures for Columbia around this time.
Nice lobby card with nice image of Sally O.
Thanks for posting it!

That's Sally in a pose from the 1929 Columbia picture BROADWAY SCANDALS.

Yes, Sally O'Neil has very beautiful eyes and I'll bet we could really appreciate them in the original black & white still.
(And I must say, if Sally became a zombie and came after me, I wouldn't try too hard to get away!)

Everyone who loves Laurel & Hardy and the product of The Hal Roach Studios and is interested in how the films have been treated (and mistreated) over the years, this is essential reading:

Put aside a few minutes...it is long, but every word is fascinating reading. -

Milkshakesmania has a point. Often these colorized pictures have bizarre unnatural glowing eyes.
A lot of us would like it if every time one of these colorized stills is posted, the black & white original is also posted.

Correct.

I could have (and named Gale Sondergaard as well) but held off to give someone else a chance.

You certainly can't blame those Lagoon Creatures for going after her!

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

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.

I attend the annual film festival Cinefest in Syracuse, New York every March. Leonard is always there too. So I've had the pleasure to have met and chatted with him many times during my more than 20 years of Cinefests.

Okay, I'll name him so you can get on to someone new:
George Lloyd.

Me too!

> }{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}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!!

I agree completely, Ray!
And I also have one of those original photos of Sam, on a 5 x 7 card, from 1938.

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:

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.

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.
