Have some b/w silent prints to get rid of... (all are super-8):

Buster Keaton in Cops
Laurel & Hardy in Dirty Work (Blackhawk released this silent with title cards)
Charlie Chaplin in The Cure
Charlie again in The Adventurer - this one has a musical soundtrack, not sure if someone striped & recorded it after the fact as I don't know of a Blackhawk sound release of this movie... Heavy line near right edge of image throughout

And a feature on 1x800ft + 1x600ft: Buster Keaton in College... Not Blackhawk, rather dark print and with a somewhat unsteady image, some lines, still enjoyable...

Asking $10 plus shipping for each... if interested, you know what to do [Wink]

ADVENTURER was released with a music/effects track, courtesy of van Beuren orchestra, in the 30's when Chaplins were re-released, so you may have a scored print - Preprint was always a bit dark on this short, if there's a line on the right or left I never had that on mine, if the image is clear enough then it's a decent print to own - All the Chaplin Mutuals (1916-17), a baker's dozen were released by Blackhawk scored, there is also the chance that someone bought a silent print and striped it and recorded their own - Silents started with an 860 as the lead numbers and the sound prints start with 880, located on the boxtop edge label - Any help, don't hesitate - Shorty

Thanks for the info Joe [Smile]

unfortunately my print of ADVENTURER is missing the original leaders as well as the box so I don't know whether it was originally silent (unstriped) or not. FWIW, it only has a main stripe, no balance stripe... The print quality is typical Blackhawk (very good), the line is thanks to whoever had this print before me...

Jan I'm interested in College. Does it have a sound track?

No, everything except The Adventurer is b/w and silent... I replied to your PM as well [Cool]
