TThhee LLaarrggeerr WWoorrlldd ooff LLaauurreell aanndd HHaarrddyy Volume III The second disc in this series offers another group of seldom seen comedy shorts populated (at least in part) by familiar figures in the world of Laurel and Hardy. With us this time are Babe London in a com- plete Christie-Educational two-reeler, Charley Chase in two shorts, Ed Kennedy in two shorts, another Billy West title with Babe Hardy in support and a handful of less familiar faces like Jess De Vorska and Billy Bletcher filling out the various casts. We’ve also included a spe- cial audio section featuring Music Hall performers Gracie Fields and Kirby and Hudson. Just in case that isn’t enough, our opening montage features a clip of Stan Laurel and Babe London “watching” the L&H short Our Wife in Stan’s apartment at the Oceana! As always, we have labored over the presenta- tion of these films. To that end, correct titles and inter- titles have been recreated whenever necessary, proper projection speeds (24 fps) have been observed and period (dance music) scores have been created from restored acoustic and electric 78 rpm records. The source materials for the visual elements on this dvd are all 16mm prints, except The Other Fellow which came originally from 35mm.

S ROYAL HIGHNESS’ MOST DUTIFUL AND MOST OBEDIENT HUMBLE SERVANT, THE EDITOR PREFACE. In preparing- the present Volume for the press, great care has been taken to exclude every thing with which the public were previously acquainted; for, notwith- standing all the ingenious expedients of the culinary art, we fear our homely national apothegm will still hold true, that “ Cauld kail het again is aye pat-tasted,” which is equivalent to intimating in the English tongue, that no art of the cook can disguise a dish presented a second time at table. Such anecdotes and stories as have before appeared in type, obtained only a local currency; but the reception given to them in this neighbourhood, induced us to believe that the world would also acknowledge them to be the sterling mint- age of the brain, and would aid in giving them a wider circulation. No expression or allusion having the least tendency to offend correct morals has been admitted. Our object was to “ point a moral,” as well as to “ adorn a tale.” PREFACE. We should be guilty of great ingratitude, did we not acknowledge the assistance received from all quarters in the “ Land of Cakes,” without which we fear our pages would have wanted much of the racy humour which the public admits they possess.

HART William S. Hart came to the movies in 1914 from a long line of theatrical ex­ perience, mostly Shakespearean and while to many he is the strong, silent Western hero of film he is also the peer of John Ford as a major force in shaping and developing this genre we enjoy, the Western. In 1889 in what is to become Oklahoma Territory the Cherokee Strip is just a graz­ ing area owned by Indians and worked day and night be the itinerant cowboys called 'tumbleweeds'. Alas, it is the end of the old West as the homesteaders are moving in . Hart becomes involved with a homesteader's daughter and her evil brother who has a scheme to jump the line as "sooners". The scenes of the gigantic land rush is one of the most noted action sequences in film history.

    Hu 121 SALÁMÁN & ABSÁL AN ALLEGORY TRANSLATED FROM THE PERSIAN OF JÁMI BY EDWARD FITZGERALD LONDON ALEXANDER MORING LTD. THE DE LA MORE PRESS 298 REGENT STREET W MDCCCCIV [1904] This is a translation of an allegorical Sufi poem by the Persian Sufi poet Jami. Nur ad-Din Abd ar-Rahman Jami, (b. 1441 d. 1492), lived in what is today Afghanistan and Uzebekistan. The translator, Edward Fitzgerald, is best known for his translation of the Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam. This book has not been reprinted since it was published in the early 20th century, although the poem has been reprinted in conjunction with other Fitzgerald works. Scanned, proofed and formatted at sacred-texts.com by John Bruno Hare, September 2008. This text is in the public domain in the US because it was published prior to 1923. MY DEAR COWELL, Two years ago, when we began (I for the first time) to read this Poem together, I wanted you to translate it, as something that should interest a few who are worth interesting. You, however, did not see the way clear then, and had Aristotle pulling you by one Shoulder and Prakrit Vararuchi by the other, so as indeed to have hindered you up to this time completing a Version of Hafiz’ best Odes which you had then happily begun. So, continuing to like old Jámi more and more, I must try my hand upon him; and here is my reduced Version of a small Original. What Scholarship it has is yours, my Master in Persian and so much beside; who are no further answerable for all than by well liking and wishing publisht what you may scarce have Leisure to find due fault with.
