THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL ,the classic 1940 Republic serial was rereleased in 1953,if I am not wrong,as THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN MARVEL, and it is from this version that 8 mm copies were made.Both Ivy and Derann issued "complete" prints,the former in a pristine edition,the latter in a less so one. Minus point, both edited the first episode from 3 reels to 2.Plus point, both edited it differently so,by editing together episodes #1 from both versions,you get a practically complete episode one, running about 28 minutes. One (or two) scene(s)missing from both,exist in one of the three one reelers issued by Republic during their short time they dabbled in 8 mm,unfortunately silent only.

Jonathan "Project the Right image" is a favorite of mine...
This weekend was cinecon so watched a few films in a proper theatre, and on friday we did the final Echo Park Film Center Mack Sennett centennial salute outdoor screening.. This one was an all Chaplin 16mm show with prints and projection supplied by me...We debuted the little brother to the Film Mobile that we are calling the Filmcycle (pronounced like popsicle) We fit the projector, PA, generator, seat cushions, pop up screen, etc into the front basket section of the bike. We did the screening downtown on the corner of 1st and Broadway, where the first film we screened was originally shot....The titles were Making a Living (Feb 2, 1914 - Chaplins first Keystone) Kid Auto Races in Venice ( Feb 7, 1914 - First appearance of the Tramp character) A Busy Day (May 7, 1914 - features cameo of Sennett and Chaplin in drag) Mabel's Married Life (June 20, 1914 scenes at Echo Park Lake) The Rounders (Sept 7, 1914 - Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle, and back at Echo park Lake) Dough and Dynamite (Oct 26, 1914) His Prehistoric Past (Dec 7, 1914 - Chaplin's final Keystone)

Last night I ran JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS - THE SPECIAL EDITION
This is a version I edited myself using a 400' Derann print of the COMPLETE scenes of " The Battle with Talos " and the remaining 3 Columbia Digests , in color and sound on Super 8 . I used the entire opening credits , then spliced the beginning invasion scenes from the Columbia digest up to when Talos is first seen . Then edited in the ENTIRE Battle of Talos , followed by the remaining 3 Columbia digests . The film runs around 50 min. The color in the Battle of Talos segment is superb ! Of course the Columbia digests have some fade , but overall still good .
Also , just had to view my Walton 400' version of WITCHFINDER GENERAL color / sound / Super 8 ( 2 200' digests edited together in order ), along with my VINCENT PRICE TRAILERS reel ( 400' - HOUSE OF USHER , MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH , CRY OF THE BANSHEE , DR. PHIBES , DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN and THEATER OF BLOOD .
Seeing as Halloween is next month I'll be doing a Horror triple - feature show at my new residence : TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE ( UNEDITED ) , Hammer films' THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN ( Beautiful Derann print ; thanks to John C. in Jersey !)and HORROR EXPRESS . Any of you fellow members in the Cincinnati , Ohio area drop me a line - you're invited to my monthly home - movie screenings beginning in October 2012 ! UPCOMING PLANNED SCREENINGS : NOV. 2012 - SCIENCE FICTION NIGHT DEC. 2012 - SWORD & SANDAL NIGHT
HAPPY SCREENINGS GANG ! Dave in Ohio
