As in many countries,the names of silent comedians were changed.In Spain,Larry Semon was Jaimito and Jimmy Aubrey was Sandalio.Does anybody know who was El Chico?

Do you have some film titles ? By the way, El Chico (the boy) is the Spanish title of The Kid.

I saw the name handwritten on two or three boxes with silent comedies in the "todo collection" website. As the titles in all those Spanish editions are changed, I can't tell you anything more. A few days later when I looked again for them, they had been sold. Do you have any catalogues or lists for Aries or Real or similar Spanish S8 companies?

No, I haven't. I will ask some Spanish enthusiasts if they know anything about an actor called El Chico in Spain.

Negative answer from the first Spanish collector I contacted (he also asked for a film titles). I'm waiting for an answer from the second e-mail I sent to Spain. Meanwhile, maybe a Spanish forum member will read your thread and enlight us ?

I've just received the second answer and, sadly, it's negative as well. Hopefully someone from the forum will have some more informations.
