Hi, Casablancalover,
It is a beautiful morning here California! B-)
Glad to hear that things are staring to return to "normal" there in SWFL.
It appears that both coasts seem to attract the crazies (we've got our share too), must be the great weather that attracts them.
Hope you're enjoying your morning.
The Beatles:

1.) Great to have you back Bronxie! Sounds like it was quite the adventure!
2.) Wendy, the 1928 version of THE MAN WHO LAUGHS is a really good film.
It takes place in England around the time of Charles II, rather than in Venice.
Conrad Veidt does a superb performance. The makeup he had to wear in order to have the joker-like face made it nearly impossible to speak, so he had to convey much of his emotions with his eyes. Bob Keane, the creator of Batman, was a kid when he saw this film and was later inspired to draw the Joker based on Conrad Veidt's make up for TMWL.
KINO released it on DVD a few years ago (there was a nice restoration done on it), it is complete w/ its original musuc score from Vitaphone typre sound discs.

Maybe she's still on the road. The road to Hollywood from Toronto is a rather long drive!

Kanui & Lula (Hawaiian performers, recorded in Paris in 1936).
Great guitar work!

Just picked up a 78 rpm copy of this record today at a flea market.

The Swan Silvertones, fantastic acapella for Palm Sunday (It's still Sunday here on the West coast)

Yes, it's titled "Include me Out"! :^0

Yea! Looks like there'll finally be a DVD or Blu Ray release for WHOOPEE! (1930)!
I have it as a laser disc and I've been hoping to upgrade.

I believe it is on this Sunday (4/1).

Nice! It is a good album.
I'll add another fave from "Ram":

A couple of more faves by the Guess Who:
-
I feel lucky that I got to see Earl perform at UCLA in November, 2011. He still sounded great.
More of Earl:
"Down The Road"
"McKinley's Gone"

Mmmmm...potato salad, and frim fram sauce!
Another food song for ya...
Larry Groce:

I figure it was a bit of both. Yes, he was a kind of father figure, when she was making him money for his independent films and then later at Paramount, however, Schulberg was not there for her when she was having her dificulties on screen and off.
-
Yep, true enough!
While we're on the food subject....Jim Jackson:

Grand Funk Railroard:

That is one of my favorite Frank Stokes sides! Frank played in medicine shows in the early 1900s, and along with blues, his repitoire included ragtime and pop tunes as well. "I Got Mine" is a raggy tune from the early 1900s.
Another favorite song is "Chicken", by the Utica Jubilee Singers:

That is really cool!
Thanks for posting the link! B-)

Robert Wilkins:

That's another great one, thanks! I really like this band.
Born To Wander:

Jeffrey, I'm pretty sure that Clara was a couple of inches shorter than Esther (not thet Esther was all that tall either!). I think Clara was around 5 foot 3 inches, or so and Esther was around 5 foot 5 inches (give or take an inch).

You might want to use the emoticon feature, so that others might not misinterpret your intentions. (i)
Just a thought...

Still, it's great news! It gives me hope that more bits of other films may turn up.
I would love to see more of THE CASE OF LENA SMITH (1929) turn up.
I saw the fragment (most of the first reel) last summer and it looked like it might have been quite a good film.
