 | Tribute to Luke, Pit Bull Movie Star (1910s) Best Friend Before there was such a thing as a "bad breed" there was Luke, a pit bull terrier who appeared in many films with his master, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle (1887-1933), from 1914 to 1920, along with Buster Keaton and Al St. John. Born in 1913, he became one of the first canine film stars, earned $150 a week for his master and was very popular with audiences. A high energy companion to the slapstick antics of his human costars, he was a natural for early comedy shorts. Very people oriented, friendly and agreeable to the oddities that came with working in comedy pictures at the time, in the course of his career he fearlessly performing such stunts as jumping from great heights, climbing two story ladders, running across rooftops, and leaping from one moving car to another. In addition he never failed to chase off the bad guy or save the lady in distress. Clips are from: Butcher Boy (1917) Coney Island (1917) The Cook (1918) Fatty's Faithful Fido (1915) Fatty's New Role (1915) Fatty's Plucky Pup (1915) The Garage (1919) The Hayseed (1919) The Knockout (1914) Song is You're My Best Friend, by Queen Hope you enjoy Luke!

 | Chaplin's Essanay Comedies: His New Job (silent) Chaplin's second film for Essanay was the first of five films shot in and around the company's Niles studio in northern California. The plot is a variation of the teaming of Chaplin and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle in the Keystone film The Rounders, this time paired with Ben Turpin, with whom Chaplin forms an excellent comedy partnership. In the film Chaplin and Turpin are drunks about the town, starting at a cafe and ending in a risque hotel room mix-up with a pretty girl, similar to what Chaplin had already done at Keystone in Caught in the Rain, yet this time with Edna Purviance in her first film for Chaplin. |
 | Dave Douglas & Keystone - MOONSHINE This is an unfinished fragment made in May 1918 by Roscoe Arbuckle and Buster Keaton. I liked the stillness of the landscape, and how it contrasts with the frenetic performances of Keaton, Arbuckle, Al St. John and Alice Lake. I'm always a sucker for a good gag, and this film seems to move from one to the next without overmuch concern for plot. For the sake of useless trivia this seems to be the first film to pack twenty people into a late model car, only to send them off into the woods. It's a fun watch. -Dave Douglas |
 | Mathnet - Case of the Willing Parrot (Recap & Finale) Pt.1 George and Kate try to solve a series of puzzles left behind by a late comedian whose fortune has been inherited by a parrot named Little Louie. I only had pieces of this case throughout the week so I tried to arrange them in the most coherent way possible. This video consists of the ending to Tuesday's episode as well as a combination of the recaps from Thursday's (?) and Friday's episodes. I've also posted a second part to this case which has the events of Friday's episode. BTW, in case you're dying to know, Roscoe "Fatty" Tissue is probably a pun on Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, a comedian from the Hollywood silent-film era best known for his involvement in a big murder scandal. |
 | YODELING operatic contralto - SCHUMANN-HEINK - Millocker A PARTY RECORD for your opera buddies! Schumann-Heink lets down her hair to yodel! Ernestine Schumann-Heink (1861-1936) sings a little-known Alpine YODELING song by Millocker, "I und mei Bua," recorded for Victor Sept. 29, 1908. One wonders when and why Schumann-Heink learned to yodel...and whether she had 2nd thoughts about having recorded this gem, as it didn't remain in the Victor catalog all that long. Shumann-Heink was born as Tini Rössler to a German-speaking family in the town of Lieben, near Prague, now in the Czech Republic but then part of the Austrian Empire. Her father Hans Rössler was a shoemaker. The family moved to Graz when Tini was thirteen. Here she met Marietta von LeClair, a retired opera singer who agreed to give her voice lessons. In 1877 she made her first professional performance, in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Graz. Tini made her operatic debut at Dresden's Royal Opera House on October 15, 1878 as Azucena in Il Trovatore?at age 17. The photo in the video, showing the THIN young contralto, was taken when she was 18, in 1879. In 1882 she married Ernest Heink, secretary of the Dresden Opera, with whom she had four children; this violated the terms of their contracts, and both were abruptly terminated from their positions. Heink took a job at the local customs house and was soon transferred to Hamburg. Ernestine remained in Dresden to pursue her career, and eventually rejoined her husband when she secured a position at the Hamburg Opera. Ernest ... |
