Time For Some Rare Buster!

From 1937, here's a short subject starring Buster Keaton entitled "Jail Bait."  It will presented in two parts.  This was one of a handful of mid-late 1930s two-reel comedies Buster did for Eductational Pictures (distributed theatrically by Twentieth Century-Fox).  With story by Paul Gerard Smith, this short subject was directed by Charles Lamont.  Harold Goodwin, Mathew Betz, Bud Jamison, and Betty Andre join Buster in the cast.

Time For Some Laughs!

From Educational Pictures in 1933, here's Harry Langdon starring in "The Hitch Hiker," with Vernon Dent, Ruth Clifford, William Irving, and Chris Marie Meeker.  With story by Robert Vernon and Dean Ward, this short subject was directed by Arvid Gillstrom.

 

Time For A Newsreel!

Here is a 1925 edition of the Kinograms silent newsreel, featuring Jack Dempsey, a balloon race, women dancing in chilly breezes, a juggler, and opium being seized and burned in Shanghai, China. 



Kinograms, distributed by Educational Pictures, was a silent newsreel that pretty much lasted through the 1920s but was doomed by the advent of sound.  An attempted comback in the early 1930s as a sound-on-disk newsreel was an abysmal failure.

Here's Another Cartoon, Kids

Time for an old Terrytoon released in 1938 entitled "Bugs Beetle and His Orchestra." This cartoon, made in New Rochelle, New York, was produced by Paul Terry and directed by John Foster.






This film was made for Educational Pictures, who in turn, had the cartoon distributed by Twentieth Century-Fox.
