Love the sound effects timed to follow the events as if you were in a movie house in the day. Almost like listening to Joe Rinaudo playing his Fotoplayer which for those that don't know is a combination player piano/organ and sound effect suite which was invented in Oakland California and was sold to movie houses in the day to accompany silents. Depended on the size of the venue and income of course. The Fotoplayer was more expensive than a piano but cheaper by far than an orchestra.
amazing and so many artists ae founded on someone like rosoe no wander their color but we still look as divided. this is original of comedy again part accept it
One of Ernie Kovacs' most famous characters was the very gay poet Percy Dovetonsils. Would it be safe to say he got his inspiration from Percy Dovewing?
@@AndyGalaxy1971 Mack Sennett was one very interesting character. Especially with in the early Keystone Days with his relationships with former bookmakers(Adam Kessel and Charles Bauman who made their living betting on horses until this activity was against the law. These two guys kept Mack Sennett and Keystone going in the very early days. Also what was interesting was the fact that broke up the team of Kessel and Bauman . In about 1919 (shortly after George Herman "Babe" Ruth was sold to the Yankees , So the Show Biz loving owner of the Boston Red Sox (where Ruth was performing as a pitcher as well as an outfielder) Even in these early days Babe Ruths' power was in evidence. Any way . Ed Frazee Red Sox owner really wanted to go Broadway with his production of "No No Nanette" (this was filmed as a talkie in the 1930s) If it was filmed as a silent it no longer survives. This created the noted "Curse Of the Bambino) The Red Sox won their last world Series in 1918 when Ruth was a member of the team. Anyway back to Kessel and Bauman. The two produced "Headin Home (1920) with Babe Ruth(In My collection). Anyway Babe Ruth was paid $900 for his services in the form of a personal check. Ruth was so proud of this check. He showed it to everyone he knew before attempting to cash the check. By the time he tried to cash the check , the team of Kessel and Bauman were bankrupt due to a money issue concerning their wives and the check bounced. "The Curse Of The Bambino" was not broken until 2004 when the Red Sox lost the first three games to the Yankees in the playoffs and then to win , The Red Sox won four straight to finally beat the Yankees(in a best of 7 series). The Red Sox went on to sweep the National League St Louis Cardinals Four games to none in the 2004 World Series. So the "Curse Of The Bambino was effectively flushed down the toilet.
Dear William - Bill, thanks for the exclusive information. What do we do about the Bambino curse? Maybe we should try to revive it with the help of a crazy doctor?
@@AndyGalaxy1971 I found it interesting that Sennett, a Canadian was played by Dan Aykroyd, another Canadian in the film "Chaplin" with Robert Downey jr.
