August, 2000 Portuguese Comedian Sets Portugal has long been known for issuing many colorful sets, many of which are very large in number. In 1971-1972, three especially nice sets were issued which featured international comedians. Thus, these covers also overlap into the VIP/Personality category. All three sets feature the same comedians [all male, by the way. You’d think they could have at least stuck Lucille Ball in there. I wonder if that was a Latin macho thing.] 1. Max Linder 9. Stan Laurel 17. Ferdandel 2. Charles Chaplin 10. W. C. Fields 18. Cantinflas 3. Ben Turpin 11. Mickey Rooney 19. Bob Hope 4. Buster Keaton 12. Vasco Santan 20. Danny Kaye 5. Harold Lloyd 13. Antonio Silva 21. Toto 6. Groucho Marx 14. Lou Costello 22. Jerry Lewis 7. Harpo Marx 15. Bud Abbott 23. Terry Thomas 8. Oliver Hardy 16. Jacques Tati 24. Alberto Sordi Set I: (1971) This set numbers 96 covers. There are 24 different comedians portrayed in caricature. There are 24 w/ yellow background, 24 w/ pink background, 24 w/white background, and 24 w/blue background. Single striker; each cover has black edges. Set II: (1971) Only 48 are reported in this set. These covers have double strikers. Backgrounds are pink and blue. 24 covers have blue edges; 24 have red edges. Set III: (1972) This set consists of 72 covers. 24 of these covers have a red edge with a blue background in the center, 24 have a red edge with a white background in the center, and 24 have a blue edge with a yellow background in the center. [The original listing also noted that “twelve other covers” (apparently in Set III) “have an additional variation in that there is a black bar beneath the second striker on all covers,” but I’m not sure how this was meant to be taken.] .

In 1925, Eight Actors Were Dedicated to a Dream. Expatriated from Their Broadway Haunts by Constant Film Commitments, They Wante
In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson. Then, proposing a toast, he declared, “To the Masquers! We Laugh to Win!” Table of Contents Masquers Creed and Oath Our Mission Statement Fast Facts About Our History and Culture Our Presidents Throughout History The Masquers “Who’s Who” 1925: The Year Of Our Birth Contact Details T he Masquers Creed T he Masquers Oath I swear by Thespis; by WELCOME!

Stan and Ollie'
'Stan and Ollie' A Screenplay By Jeff Pope Stan and Ollie - Goldenrod Revisions 20.04.17 1 BLACK. UNDER THIS this we hear a conversation. HARDY (V.O.) ... so Madelyn turned up. LAUREL (V.O.) Madelyn turned up? HARDY (V.O.) Completely out of the blue. Haven’t seen her in fifteen years... 1INT. DRESSING ROOM/ROACH LOT/STUDIO - DAY 1 Oliver HARDY leans against the door to a dressing room, worried expression, talking to his friend Stan LAUREL. Both are in their late-40s, (at the peak of their movie careers), but to begin with we have no real clue as to who they are, where they are or what they do. They are just two guys in cheap suits talking to each other. HARDY lights up a cigarette as he talks. HARDY There she was, all gussied up on the front door step. And that’s something I never thought I’d see again. LAUREL picks up a boot (the right one) with a large hole in the sole. Using a knife he levers off the heel. LAUREL What’d she want? HARDY Twenty thousand bucks. LAUREL Twenty thousand? HARDY Fifteen years of back alimony. I ** said ‘what alimony? When we broke ** up I gave you whatever money I had ** and you took the car.’ We both ** agreed that was that. LAUREL Jeez even Mae wasn’t after that much - and she wanted me to pay for a chauffeur. It’s because our faces ** are plastered all over town. ** Probably some lawyer’s bright idea. ** LAUREL levers off the other heel.

Hands Up! by Steve Massa
Hands Up! By Steve Massa Raymond Griffith is one of silent come- dy’s unjustly forgotten masters, whose onscreen persona was that of a calm, cool, world-weary bon vivant – some- thing like Max Linder on Prozac. After a childhood spent on stage touring in stock companies and melodramas, he ended up in films at Vitagraph in 1914 and went on to stints at Sennett,- L Ko, and Fox as a comedy juvenile. Not mak- ing much of an impression due to a lack of a distinctive character, he went be- hind the camera to become a gagman, working at Sennett and for other comics like Douglas MacLean. In 1922 he re- turned to acting and became the ele- gant, unflappable ladies’ man.

2020 Edition of the Pordenone Silent Film Festival Ends
2020 EDITION OF THE PORDENONE SILENT FILM FESTIVAL ENDS LIMITED EDITION DOUBLES ITS ACCREDITATIONS, REACHING VIEWERS IN 37 NATIONS LOOKING FORWARD TO 2021 AND THE 40th EDITION OF THE FESTIVAL Press release Beyond expectations – that’s how the 2020 edition of the Pordenone Silent Film Festival has turned out, after being online for the first time in its 39-year history, due to the pandemic. There is one live event, the customary post-festival repeat performance of the Saturday screening, on Sunday 11 October at 4.30 pm at Pordenone’s Teatro Verdi, in compliance with anti-Covid regulations – “Laurel or Hardy”, a series of short films made between 1916 and 1925 which reveal how the world’s most famous comedy duo wowed the public before their historic partnership began. The accompaniment will be by the musicians of the Zerorchestra. Of course we missed the emotions of a week’s live shows, but viewers who connected from around the globe were certainly satisfied with the solid programme put together for this Limited Edition by festival director Jay Weissberg in collaboration with international film archives, and with the best possible visual and audio quality guaranteed by the MYmovies platform. On the one hand, the web has made it possible to maintain our link with the extended Giornate family – devoted individuals who have followed the festival for many years – and on the other, it has proved to be an excellent sounding board, bringing new audiences to the festival, thanks in part to an accessibly-priced basic accreditation (€ 9.90). Numbers don’t lie, and this edition more than doubled its accreditations, exceeding 2,000.
