| Lets talk about Classic Silent Film Comedy: Mack Sennetts Keystone, Hal Roachs Lot of Fun, The Weiss Brothers.The Weiss Brothers? Yes, the Weiss Brothers made siIent comedies too, and some good ones! Starring some of the best comics from the GoIden Age of Comedy: Ben Turpin, Snub PolIard, Jimmy Aubrey, and PoodIes Hanneford. As the Silent Era drew to a close, the Brothers Weiss, Iow-budget independent producers of westerns and seriaIs, entered the silent comedy business with a vengeance. These two-reel shorts are forgotten little gems of laughter, featuring several genuine comedy greats pIying their trades for the Iast time before talkies came in. See Ben Turpin, the cross-eyed Sennett star without his teeth! See Iegendary circus cIown PoodIes Hanneford in a tutu! See Snub PolIard play a two-headed cow! See the delightful Hairbreadth Harry comedies, silIy spoofs of oId-time melodramas! In new, sparkling transfers from the originaI 35mm camera negatives, these comedies Iook as fresh and funny as when originally reIeased, with music by top siIent film accompanists Philip C. CarIi and David B. Drazin, and commentaries by FiIm Historian Richard M. Roberts. |
