Thanks so much for this. I really love Snub Pollard. I was looking for more films featuring Sunshine Sammy Morrison, and stumbled across this great selection of classic cinema.
That song is haunting me…because it’s on the tip-off my tongue. Anyone know it? DAH-dum-de-dah (da, da, da, de, de, de, de) DAH-dum-de-dah It’s going to drive me crazy.
Hi Andy. This film was originally released as "A Dancing Fool" on June 30, 1923 by Arrow. Like most of the Bobby Dunn Mirthquake series, it was directed by Eugene DeRue. Bobby's blonde dance partner is Ena Gregory and, his rival is Glen Cavender.
Andy, this Bobby Dunn comedy was originally released as "ONCE A BOOB" in June 1924. It was about his 25th two-reeler of 28 Mirthquake Comedies for Arrow. The series continued after Dunn left, now with comedian Bobby Ray carrying the lead.
When I was a kid, or family had an old 8mm movie projector and a box of metal cans with reels of movies. This was one of the movies we had. Watched it over and over. Don't know where it is now or if it even exists as old movies disintegrate over time.
A perfect 35mm element of this film survives at the Library of Congress, which is likely the source of what we are watching. But what we see here is a copy of a copy of a copy, possibly from VHS... The film is well preserved at LoC.
Rare in that most of Paramount’s silent films did not survive (let alone the short comedies) so to see one like this (especially a Sennett) is truly a privilege.
