goldensilents Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'll take anything new at this point. TCM has become so boring lately that days go by and I don't even bother checking the schedule. All I see is the same old, same old (at least to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alix1929 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Drednm, what do you think of Evelyn Knapp? Why do you think she wasn't a bigger star? She was certainly beautiful (saw her in Sinners Holiday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Maybe Knapp just wasn't a good enough actress.... because yes she was pretty. It's like asking why Tallulah Bankhead didn't do better in early talkies. With Sinner's Holiday, the film was basically stolen from her and Grant Withers by James Cagney and Joan Blondell.

musicalnovelty Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 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!)

FrankieAnne Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Looks like TCM is finally getting back to showing the older films that I watch the channel for! I'm curious about The Stooges connection. I'm a big Stooges fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceSaliano Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm loving the rare Columbias. Hopefully, we'll get rare Universals from the same era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alix1929 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Evelyn Trivia: Was she Curley's wife...? (just kidding!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 No, but the connection does involve Curly, more than the other Stooges. Answer coming soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Okay, for everyone who has been waiting for the answer to my Evalyn Knapp-Three Stooges trivia question, here finally is the answer: Evalyn had a brother named Orville who had a band. They recorded for Decca and Brunswick from 1934 to 1936. One of Curly Howard's odd jobs just before joining The Three Stooges in 1933 was as a "guest conductor" for live appearances by Orville Knapp and his Orchestra. Curly had a comedy act in which as he conducted his suit would fall apart little by little until he was left wearing just his underwear with a big padlock on the back. .
