Anyone looking for any early talking pictures should visit "The
Vitaphone Project" at http://www.vitaphoneproject.com/  My "email pal"
Ron Hutchinson and friends have done an outstanding service to film
preservation by maintaining this site through the years.

Because of the project numerous early talking pictures and shorts,
which heretofore were thought lost, have been rescued and saved,
including many early jazz and dance band performances as well as
vaudevillians in full flower.  And more are being rescued every day!
A must for the musicologist in all of us.

Cheers,
