INJUN TROUBLE (1926)Raymond Griffith (January 23, 1895 - November 25, 1957) was one of the great silent movie comedians. The best known of his films today is Hands Up!, a 1926 Civil War comedy feature directed by Clarence G. Badger, and co-starring Mack Swain, which was entered into the National Film Registry in 2005. This is a very rare two-reel version of that film. PLEASE EXCUSE ME (1926) - This 1926 entry was the third episode of the Excuse Maker two reel comedy series featuring Charles King and Constance Darling. In films since childhood, Charles King played a variety of roles in silent films but it was as a western villain in the 1930s and 1940s that King would achieve his greatest fame. THE TIN HOSS (1925) - This 1925 film was produced as a 'Hey Fellas!' comedy, which was basically a copy of Hal Roach's Our Gang series. The storyline involves a home-made railway running on lines made from a stolen fence and driven by a Joe Cobb imitator. DAILY DOZENS (1926) - The 'Joybell Players' consisting of Jack Cooper, Ethelyn Gibson and Jack Richardson star in this very funny comedy from writer/director Robert Tansey. Producer Billy West was himself a silent film comedian, and was the best-known and most successful Charlie Chaplin imitator. BOMBS AND BRIDES (1916) - Charles Murray, Mary Thurman, Louise Fazenda, Wayland Trask and Harry Booker star in this comedy produced by Mack Sennett for the Keystone Film Comedy.
