Flying Elephants 1928 2 reeler This early Hal Roach stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy — before they became the team of "Laurel and Hardy." This one is set in the stone age and the duo are cavemen. The title refers to three animated pachyderms that fly overhead in one scene... animation by Walter (Woody Woodpecker) Lantz. The the leader of the cave people declares that all the males must find a female mate or face banishment. Stan and Ollie both pursue the same girl, which eventually leads to several contests to win the affections of the young Blushing Rose. Perfect Blackhawk print with music on the sound track of this silent film. 100.00

Morton, Eddie Borden, Jack Hill, Charlie Hall and John Binns. Charlie's new marriage is being undermined by his sister-in-law and her little dog, Fifi. Celeste has no job, dominates the bathroom, and overall, is a buzz-killer. Charley will end up getting this girl entangled with an important business client and almost loose his job over an evening involving at a night club involving triangulation, liquor, balloons, an engagement ring and a mustard plaster! I hate selling any of these Chase comedies, but this one is for sale. An original Film Classics print with maybe 10 splices throughout- most at the start. The main title is a little short, but complete at the end. And there is a little vinegar to this- not severe or greasy or warped. 85.00
Local Color on the A-1 Ranch 1916 silent A Tom Mix 1 reeler in a Blackhawk print that looks like its never been run before. Mix, the ranch hand and his foreman play a practical joke on a young woman who is visiting the ranch to get some "Local Color" for a story that she is writing.

Popeye the Sailor Cartoons The following complete, Agfacolor prints are either just begining to loose some blues... or they were printed that way- (the AAP titles are still stunning) so I'm calling them 'slightly shifted.' They are generally clean prints with no scratches or lines and are terrific to present. Read each description- there are some differences.

Can you use it? a piece of WW2 americana for 45.00 Wimmin Hadn't Oughta Drive. 1940 directed by Dave Fleischer with the ship door titles.
