Dino ...

You have such a wonderful fascination with the early cinema!

I often, when viewing the early Essany, Mutual or other early shorts, have a fascination for not the action going on at that moment in the picture. No, I enjoy looking at what the city looked like at that time, (as they filmed around L.A.) or the outdoor scenes, much of which still looked a lot like the old west.

I think that's why I love "The Great Train Robbery" so much. When that was shot, the Old West was still much in existence, (1903) in most of America, even more so in the west. When we see the train out there and the woods go by, your looking at America the way Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid saw it.

I'll never be able to actually see that time with my own eyes, but thru early cinema, I'm able to.

Micheal buyer tempted me. Now I'LL watch Ben Hur, one half today, and the other, hopefully, tommorow!

Gian - terrific images!

Michael - thanks in taking out the time with the titles.

Dino - I had been looking for those two Demille short films.
glad that you obtained: The Hollywood You Never See.

Hollywood Extra Girl is a great one too.

The picts are so sharp. How is the sound?
I wonder if these two titles are difficult to find?

Mike - the sound is pretty good, and Hollywood extra girl is easier to find than this one..I have had multiple copies over the years and recently sold a 16mm print (I think Blackhawk even put that one out)

Osi, yep you are right I am definitely all about the old films, I think mainly because I believe the art of cinema to be a visual medium and the silents used the medium to the fullest to tell the stories....I think most of you recognize the same thing and this is why you all love the animated titles so much....I still enjoy modern movies but usually I am "one and done" in terms of seeing them..I rarely have the desire to go back...Could be because instead of artistically telling a story through beautiful visuals, there is a tendency nowadays for filmmakers to assault all of the senses at once into overload and forget about the need to still tell a story...I made a little film back at USC that comically states how I feel about all this...Watch it now before they pull it down for copyright nonsense... I call it

Screening King Kong was also useful to see which version I had, this one is the abridged version. Therefore I'm happy I've kept my 16mm print as it contains all the extra scenes and shots.

J-M,

Film renew has benefits. I back wound a print against the curl. Also I had a print that took-up on the reel in an egg shape. Over time it became flat.

I also had a reel that had a slight vinegar odor, and the Film Renew helped too.

On a similar note, Vitafilm is another product made by Stewart, and it is the original formula. Film Renew is the junior version of this time tested film product. Maybe 75 years. Anyway a friend used this with a print that had a vinegar smell. The film was closed in the can for over 6 months. It absorbed the fluid and filled in the pin holes in the emulsion. He also tried it on a print that was treated with a scratch treatment to rid the film of marks, but the Vitafilm could not help it. The film was sealed and the film broke down because it could not breathe.

The Vitafilm is very strong smelling. The odor leaks through the cap and the container should also be sealed.

Vitafilm has a strong odor. It smells akin to the Urinal cakes that are placed in mens rooms to remove the odor.

the smell of the vitafilm is from the camphor...I get the same results by using a combination of film renew and actual camphor crystals (not at the same time though) The camphor helps re plasticize the film (which can make a brittle film more supple) and the film renew helps clean it and relax it....
Keep in mind that the camphor has to be the granules and nothing else. Here is where I get it... Frontier camphor granules

Dino,

Point well taken.

It was also told to me,
that if anyone were to go into
an Indian food - health store, the food version
of camphor is available. I do not rightly understand,
if this statement is true?

Indeed you mentioned the benefit of Film Renew has benefits in the
cleaning, relaxing, waxing ability, to dry fairly fast.

There are advantages to the other bon-a-fide liquid products.
Kudos to Film Guard; et. all, that I implicitly recommend
to the needs in any film library collection.

When the hobby expands, it is not any longer a hobby and
instead becomes a Library. Ultimately this special attention benefits the
films and projector equipment too.

Michael, Dino, thank you for your input. I've used Film Renew and Film Guard for years. I can no longer get Renew as Larry can't send it overseas by airmail. I've always questionned Vitafilm as one knows that there's no actual cure for VS. You can delay the process, or fix some of its effects. Right now, the only problem is the warping (my nostrils can deal with the smell) which makes focusing nearly impossible. Fortunately, it's only affecting R1.

This weekend horror double bill: Squirm + Return of the Living Dead.

Jean-Marc my jealousy of your horror and sci fi collection knows no bounds....

FYI - A guy in my band played on the soundtrack for Living Dead in the band 45 Grave that did the "Partytime" song...

Despite the projector running abit slow, I did a short screening for me, my fiancee and the in-laws last night.

First up was a 400' reel with cartoons, first Tom and Jerry, then Road Runner and finally Tweety. After that I showed the Eurofilm edit of "Easy Street" with Chaplin, before rounding it off with my newest reel, the Universal 8 release of "Who's on First?".

Did not take any pictures sadly.

--------------------
Well who’s on first? Yeah. Go ahead and tell me. Who. The guy on first. Who. The guy playin’ first base. Who. The guy on first. Who is on first! What are you askin’ me for? I’m askin’ you!

WE showed 3 S8mm blackhawks last night during the witching hours. [Wink]

Our Gang - Spook Spoofing
Our Gang - Crazy House (not sure why that made the line-up)
5 X 400' version Phantom Of The Opera (with faded color scene)

The look in peoples' eyes when we opened the door to pass out candy was priceless. I guess no one who came to our door has ever seen a screen that is 8.5'w X 6.5'h indoors before
