He chain-smoked Marlboro cigarettes, swilled bourbon like water and had a reputation for abusing recreational drugs. He was known to associate with the worst kind of reprobates, misfits and malcontents - often leading to violent or confrontational situations. His manner of speaking seemed to be the product of a racing mind and was characterized by a twisted kind of logic that even he would describe as being dangerously insane. No, his name is not Charlie Sheen. It was Hunter S. Thompson - a formerly inimitable figure whose once-unique troubles have now seemingly found their way into Sheen’s consciousness. At least, for commercial purposes. In recent days, Charlie Sheen has spent his spare time amusing us with a new kind of Punch and Judy show. The cast is comprised of his ego (Punch) and his less-than-appreciable acting skills (Judy). The results are far less amusing than the description. Frankly, the whole public meltdown thing looks to me like a very badly executed impersonation of the aforementioned Thompson on his worst day. Sheen’s internet rants, which he delivers through something called Sheen’s Korner - you’re either in his corner, or not - have thus far amounted to a handful of crudely assembled video recordings principally depicting telephone conversations between himself and people we suppose to be his “staff.” Between calls, he snarls into the webcam and tells us things like “[the telephone] is the weapon of the Trolls. One day I’ll master it and turn it against them.” Yes, we get the picture, Charlie. Fear and Loathing at Sober Valley Lodge - those of us who have read the ’60s counter-culture shite get it. At least ,Thompson believed in his madness. Like him or not, he was truly an eccentric. He hid in that Colorado compound, shunned almost all contact and eventually blew his brains out when the strange and terrible visions burned themselves away. Sheen is a fraudulent and unflattering imitation. An eyesore on the cultural landscape. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the substantive product of his insanity - if there is any to begin with. He is, however, banking on the public’s madness. Genuine crazies aren’t concerned with product placement in their streaming videos or selling you their lame poetry books. They want you to get the message at whatever the personal cost. Sheen is neither unique nor eccentric; he’s a barker with a puppet theater. Here’s a bit of insight for you, Charlie: some of us don’t care about the meltdown act, we’re just here to see Judy get her ass kicked. w w w. l o o se r t h a n l o o se . c o m Only $39.99 + S & H!

The latest collection of silent Roach shorts includes four starring Will Rogers, four starring Harold Lloyd and Snub Pollard, a pair of Paul Parrotts, a Charley Chase, a Stan Laurel one-reeler and a handful of oddities and fragments on this 3-DVD set. Supporting casts include favorites like Marie Mosquini, Bebe Daniels, George Rowe, Mark Jones, William Gillespie and many more. There is even an appearance by Harold Lloyd’s brother Gaylord, who stars in his own 1921 comedy in the guise of “Lonesome Luke.” This is a good look at the Roach Studios’ “A” and “B” product from 1919 to 1927. The titles on this disc are either new transfers from prints in our own collection, or older 16mm transfers from video masters. Nearly all feature newly restored 78rpm acoustic soundtracks. Wherever possible, we have used original titles and otherwise attempted to replicate originals carefully and faithfully. The cost of this 3-disc set is $39.99 plus shipping and handling.

A DMISSION F REE , D ONATIONS E NCOURAGED ! SERIES SPONSORS WILT WILT ON TOWN TOWN HALL THEATRE THEATRE The Wilton Town Hall Theatre http://www.wiltontownhalltheatre.com 4 A number of folks have been asking about the status of this project for several months and we thought a progress report and some promotion would now be in order. The book is under contract and we expect to publish soon. The writing is still in progress and completion is taking far longer than originally anticipated, but the result will be worth the wait. This is the definitive work on Thelma Todd’s life and career. Much of the material comes directly from her own scrapbooks, letters, photo collections and articles. Still more of the information contained in “Just Thelma...” originated with her family members and friends. Collected from first-hand interviews with Thelma’s cousins and from the personal collections of her mother, aunts and uncles, the biographical data presented in this book will strip away the stale varnish of sensational misinformation and reveal the young woman as she really was. Whenever possible, we have provided Thelma’s own words to the reader in textual insets which accompany the narrative and illustrations. No little detail has been ignored. Every relevant shard of information has been set into the story - we’ve even managed to include a handful of irrelevant ones in the bargain. This is Thelma Todd, period. It is not the fabricated tale of some gangster-obsessed young girl who descends at midnight into the figure of a tragic Hollywood blonde slumped over the steering wheel of her car, bereft of dignity. This book is not of the variety penned by pulp fiction merchants who smell money in their ink. Rather, it is being assembled by people who care about her with the help, cooperation and (in every applicable case) the blessing of those who actually knew and loved her. WHAT THE BOOK CONTAINS Hundreds of Obscure Photographs: Every period of her life is documented in images dating from 1907 to 1935. Many of these photos come from Thelma’s personal scrapbooks, or the collections of her mother and aunts. The Factual Story of Her Life: Beginning with brief biographical sketches of her father and mother, her life in Lawrence, Massachusetts and move to New York, through her ten years in the film industry, the narrative provides an actual accounting of the facts. Highly Detailed Filmography: A complete historical record of every appearance made by Thelma Todd on film. Illustrations and reviews accompany each entry. Obscure Facts and Details: Dozens of textual inserts appear beside the main narrative and convey complementary details relevant to her living and working conditions, friendships, relationships and associations. Most of these insets are illustrated and some are in her own words. Setting the Record Straight: “Just Thelma...” is not based upon a true story, it is the true story of Thelma Todd and her parents, John Shaw and Alice Todd. COMING SOON With Louise Fazenda We Celebrate The Return of Baseball! Reprinted from “Film Flashes” (Leslie-Judge C 1916) 5 Collection of Dave Stevenson MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2011 IN PRODUCTION NOW! No animal star of the silent era was as mean, antisocial or irredeemably nasty as Snooky. You might even say, that in the entire pantheon of silent comedy figures (human or otherwise), only the early comedy team of Ham and Bud were as filthy and violent. We would not have it any other way. New to DVD is this collection of “Snooky the Humanzee” two-reel shorts. With the exception of one “extra,” all of the transfers on this disc are new digital restorations from original 16mm prints in our collection. The six items on this disc have restored 78 rpm soundtracks and all have either original or recreated title sets. One title, “Four Times Foiled,” also features veteran comedian Edgar Kennedy. As always, Snooky is joined by Ida Mae McKenzie and finds himself having to “save that damn baby again,” whilst doling out (and receiving) a fair amount of abuse in the bargain. Please Note: Every animal was harmed during the making of these films. Therefore we say “Caveat emptor” to you soft touches out there.

MANCHESTER CONVENTION The International Laurel and Hardy Society visits New England in July, 2012 july 19th - 22nd, 2012 Manchester, New Hampshire 18th International Convention of the Sons of the Desert BOSTON PRE-CONVENTION FISHER CATS BALL GAME A day-trip Pre-Convention to Boston will take place on Tuesday, July 17th. Buses will leave from the Radisson in the morning and take attendees for a day-long adventure in Bean Town. Massachusetts’ capital city is just 50 miles south of Manchester and getting there ought to be a piece of cake. The pre-convention costs just $85 per person. The details are still being worked out, so we can’t tell you exactly what you get for your money, except transportation, but we are looking into a number of potential activities and will post the specifics soon. In the meantime, here are a few images to whet your appetite. Note for those interested: We do plan on including a visit to the last resting place of Thelma Todd in Lawrence during the return to Manchester. On Wednesday evening (July 18th, 2012) we are planning to open the convention (informally) with an evening at the home stadium of Manchester’s AA baseball team. Merchants Auto.com Stadium (yes, we think the name is foolish, too) is the domain of the Fisher Cats - an affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. We have been speaking with the park’s management about hosting our party and will know within a few months if the team’s schedule is going to cooperate. If so, we hope to interest them in an “old time comedy” night with, among other things, a live performance of Who’s on First by a team of Abbott and Costello impersonators. We can tell you this: It will not cost you anything extra and you’ll get a free soft drink and hot dog with your convention ticket.

MANCHESTER CONVENTION The International Laurel and Hardy Society visits New England in July, 2012 july 19th - 22nd, 2012 Manchester, New Hampshire 18th International Convention of the Sons of the Desert Open Mic Nights Films Being Scheduled On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, test your musical talents and everybody else’s patience at one of our three planned open mic nights. We welcome your participation in these talent showcases. Whether you sing, play an instrument, slam poetry or otherwise perform publicly acceptable acts, we welcome you to our stage. Even as we speak, the convention staff is lining up pubs within easy walking distance of the hotel for after-hours entertainment. Two back-up bands have been enlisted, each with a vast knowledge of contemporary popular music (there may even be a Charley Chase song, or two, in those repertoires), so if you are moved by the spirit, please to join in. Our Curator, film historian Cole Johnson, is compiling a schedule of silent and sound film rarities that you will not want to miss. Wherever possible, we are attempting to secure the best available 16mm prints around. In addition to the Laurel and Hardy shorts with which we are all familiar, these also include some very obscure titles which showcase the Hal Roach stock company - at Roach and other studios. Special segments will be devoted to L&H alumni Thelma Todd and Walter Long, who have local origins. Other familiar faces to be showcased will include Arthur Housman (in at least one starring role from his own silent comedy series at Fox), Anita Garvin and Blanche Payson. Films will run all day - every day. Yes, we know it’s a Laurel and Hardy convention! In keeping with our pre-code Joan Blondell theme, however, we just couldn’t resist throwing in (or up - depending upon your own interpretation) a somewhat modified image from “Convention City.” According to some sources, this was the precode film that, having been made in such bad taste and moral effrontery, led single-handedly to the establishment of the infamous motion picture code and the film was, subsequently, deemed unfit for public exhibition. Apparently, no prints of the film currently exist and according to Warner Brothers’ records the original negative was “junked” in 1948 owing to nitrate decomposition. 9 Convention Registration Form 18th International Sons of the Desert Convention http://2012.looserthanloose.com Hosted by New England Tents July 19 - 22, 2012 Manchester, NH Radisson Hotel Name:________________________________________________ Tent Name/#:_______________________ Address: __________________________________________________________________________________ City:_____________________________ State/Zip/Country:_________________________________________ Phone:________________________ Cell:______________________ Email:___________________________ ALL AMOUNTS ARE IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS FREE Convention T-sshirt: (circle size) S M L XL XXL (first free; $20 each additional shirt) $ _____ Convention Cost: $325 (paid in full) by July 31, 2011; $375 (paid in full) after July 31, 2011 includes admission to Wednesday Baseball Game (food and soda included) * Thursday Vaudeville Show at Palace Theatre * Friday Lake Cruise (transportation, food, entertainment included) * Saturday New York Themed Costume Banquet * Sunday “Honolulu Baby” Breakfast Brunch $ _____ Dealer Room Table: (circle) One table $35 Two tables $50 Three tables $60 $ _____ Convention Hotel: Radisson, 700 Elm Street, Manchester, NH 03101, USA http://www.radisson.com/manchesternh (603) 206-4109 or (800) 333-3333 Rate: $119 single/double (plus tax; rate expected to be in effect a few days before and after convention; check when booking).

It may be of interest to note that while Bobby Clark was appearing in “Sweethearts” at the Shubert Theatre in April, 1947, “The Chocolate Soldier” with Billy Gilbert had finished its Boston run and was being staged at New York’s Century Theatre. Courtesy of Phil and Chris Wittmann 11 RED HOT TOMATOES Vintage Screen Stars and Pre-Code Pin-Ups Joan Blondell The images contained in this two-page pictorial date from the early part of her career as a hot new property of Warner Brothers’ Studio. These photos were taken between 1930 and 1932 when the studio was dumping a ton of money into promoting the 1931 WAMPAS Baby star. During this period she was given a great deal of work and appeared in no fewer than twenty-two features, including Public Enemy and Three on a Match , and at least four Vitaphone shorts. The familiar “bathtub” shots reprinted below come from the 1931 feature Blonde Crazy (known as Larceny Lane in the UK) in which she shares the screen with another young Warner hopeful of this period, James Cagney. Though she would appear opposite Cagney eight times, it is probably her role in the pre-eminent depression era musical Gold Diggers of 1933 for which she is best remembered. She also had key roles in the infamous Convention City (First NationalW.B. ’33), Topper Returns (Hal Roach ’41) and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (20th Century-Fox ’45). Her TV credits include everything from a 1952 episode of The Schlitz Playhouse to an appearance on The Love Boat. Joan Blondell worked steadily in Hollywood from 1930 until her death from leukemia in 1979. The last film in which she appeared, The Woman Inside (20th Century-Fox), was released in 1981. Though our only contemporary memories of her may be rooted in films like Grease (Paramount ’78) or mid-seventies television staples like Starsky and Hutch or Medical Center (remember that hideous carnival of pills and amputations?), your editor prefers to think of Joan Blondell as the 25-year-old WAMPAS Bombshell depicted here. The three shots here (left and above), and top two on the next page, were taken during the same session. They were general publicity items and not used for the promotion of any specific film. Editor’s Collection 12 The shot immediately above is a general publicity item and not related to the two shots at left from Blonde Crazy (’31).

The images come from 35mm transparencies shot by a New Hampshire family. It is our hope that the digital reproduction does not take away too much from the original Kodachrome quality. As you may already be aware, the Kodachrome process was discontinued in recent years with the very last processing lab stopping all service in 2010. Nothing will ever match the unique qualities of Kodachrome. The Unisphere (above) on the main concourse of the 1964 World’s Fair.
