THEATRICAL COMEDIES

All on 400' reels unless noted

  • HUSTLING FOR HEALTH - Very rare 1918 Stan Laurel comedy by the Rolin Film Company. After missing his train, Stan Laurel meets a Good Samaritan who invites him back to his home for rest and relaxation. It proves a most arduous vacation but even amidst the angry suffragettes and demanding hosts, Laurel hazards into love.
    This was a lost title until I discovered an old mint condition original 1942 16mm print in a well preserved old film collection. It h    as a very special unique sound track I made in 1990 of syncronized period music and sound effects (better than the music tracks added to the dupe quality prints on YouTube). I had only about 12 prints made up at Perry's Movies in England in super-8 from the original 16mm print. The prints are brand new on Eastman pre-striped black and white acetate film stock, about 225' on a 400' reel in a special box I designed for this and another film. Runs over 15 minutes at 18 frames per second speed setting. Image quality is outstanding! Only one Mint print is available - $149
  • GIANTS VS. YANKS - Hal Roach 1923 OUR GANG Comedy with the Our Gang kids. This is the TV "Scalawags" release of these silent comedies with a music and effects sound track. The game gets started with Farina as the umpire, at one point pulling a razor on Ernie for arguing balls and strikes. After a while, they're chased off by the owner of the vacant lot where they want to play. They head to a house where a doctor there suspects one of the couple's maids has a contagious fever and quarantines the gang to the house as he tries to get a diagnosis. Mint condition in the Niles Films OB, 400' - $39
  • CRADLE ROBBERS - Cradle Robbers is a 1924 short silent Hal Roach comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan. It was the 26th Our Gang short subject released. When the gang hears about prizes being offered at a baby show, they get their younger siblings ready to earn some money. Mickey dresses Joe up to win the prize for fattest baby, but Joe runs off when it comes time to be inspected by a pediatrician. The gang then stages its own baby show, but their mothers arrive with the police to reclaim their babies. The gang hides in a gypsy's wagon, and find themselves being kidnapped by the unknowing gypsy.  With a sound track of music and effects.
