Shorty ...

I know that YOU KNOW what you're looking for, but others may not know.

So, if I could possibly help ...

Which ISSUES of these prints, (I'm assuming Blackhawk?), of these specific titles are looking for? Silver Box? Green Box, ect ect [Smile]

Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on June 13, 2018, 12:04 PM:

No matter, pink-olive green or silver-grey, always Blackhawk

Some favourite titles there Joe, but I'm surprised you don't already have them. Scram worth watching just for Arthur Houseman
's brilliant drunk. They do show up on flea bay, on your side of the pond, good luck.....

Truth to tell Paul, I did have these and more several times over through the years, but sold them to get cash for shows and such - Now, I'm getting these for the last time in the choicest boxes I can find as a permanent holding to display at libraries and screen for friends. Also after several RKO shorts with Leon Errol and Edgar Kennedy - Stay in touch, Shorty

Joe, was Bacon Grabbers a super 8 sound print?
I did find it in the 1980 catalog-it wasn't available in 1978-79

BACON GRABBERS;1929!
STAN LAUREL, OLIVER HARDY,
EDGAR KENNEDY, JEAN HARLOW
As process servers, Stan and Ollie are
called to retrieve a radio from a most uncooperative
Edgar Kennedy. Using a ladder
to steal in from the second floor, only leads to
trouble. Thwarted by shotguns, steam rollers
and Jean Harlow·s husband, the boys still
won·t give up. It's a marvelous movie and
now you can order it with the original soundtrack
restored.
