Twins of Evil, mixed 2x600ft Part one of the Derann release (Agfa, slightly dark), part two of the Walton 4x400ft (Eastman, pink) and Walton 200ft extract (Agfa,not faded but lower definition and higher contrast than their 4x400ft)
Ran a 1200ft reel of old cartoons I had spiced together through the GS1200. Its interesting to note that many of those films bought new long ago are still looking pretty good considering the amount of use they have had both through a ST1200 and GS1200. The Castle films "Egg Cracker Suite" and "Barber Of Saville" bought in the 1970s were on polyester stock before the change to Universal 8 even though have faded a little bit, are still in general fine. Walton of course looks great and would place The Two Mouseketeers at the top of the list. Once again this T/J was bought new at the time, the color is still perfect
1....Tweety Pie
2...Egg Cracker Suite
3...Barber Of Saville.
4....T/J The Two Mouseketeers.....on Fuji film.
5....The Dwarf's Dilemma.
6.... I Wan'na Be Like You.
7.....T/J His Mouse Friday....on Fuji film.
8.....Three For Breakfast.
9.....T/J Cat Napping....a few marks on this print...pity... from somewhere in the past.
I took a few screen shots from a past screening...the actual images shown below, are a lot brighter, and sharper, than what was captured with the camera.
I am on vacation this week so I have been catching up on some viewing. Yesterday I screened
Lawrence Welk Movietone 1949...200'
Circus Train to Milwaukee...200'
Sherlock Holmes trailer reel (6 trailers)...200'
Laurel & Hardy Me and My Pal....400'
The Women In Green (feature...4 X 400')
All super 8 sound except train film that was silent.
Nice Bill I didn't know Lawrence Welk was on 8, one for my wants lists.
Great programme Graham and nice to see all those cartoon.
Been spooling up some trailers ready for our winter show programmes

FLAT: Commando, Rambo II, Cliffhanger and Mission Impossible.

I bought a copy of the Hello Dolly trailer at the last day of Derann. Typically the price on the box was wrong and Ged sold it to me for 1/10 of the £80.00😱 price tag. 😀
