Hi Folks,
We have released a "Sampler" DVD of LTL titles as described below.
These are new transfers of shorts offered previously in our Lloyd
Hamilton and Snub Pollard series', however, these versions also have
new piano scores by accompanist Jeff Rapsis and this DVD contains a
brand-new coming attractions glass slide show with a restored theatre
organ track. If you have been sitting on the fence regarding the
Hamilton set , the Pollard series, or LTL products in general - or if
you just want to add new music tracks to your collection - please
check out our "sampler." Details follow.
A Looser Than Loose Sampler
"With All New Piano Scores by Jeff Rapsis"
Starring: Lloyd Hamilton and Snub Pollard
And an all-new glass slide show with a restored theatre organ score
We have made new transfers of four very popular shorts and added
newly recorded piano scores by accompanist Jeff Rapsis. The shorts
come from our Lloyd Hamilton set and Snub Pollard series. There is
about an hour and ten minutes of material on the disc (including the
glass slide show) and we whole-heartedly invite you to sample these
titles with their new tracks. Looser Than Loose is heading in a
slightly different direction in terms of original content, and this
disc represents the departure point. In the coming months we will be
incorporating a significant quantity of unique material in our
restorations. Newly recorded music, commentaries and home-grown
documentary presentations are all in the works.
The four shorts presented on this "sampler" DVD come from two of
our most requested silent comedy figures: Lloyd Hamilton and Snub
Pollard. "Ham" stars in the Educational two-reelers "Nobody's
Business" and "Careful Please," While Snub entertains us in the one-
reel subjects: "Punch The Clock" and "At The Ringside." Both stars
appear along side the supporting casts we all have come to regard with
enduring affection. "Ham" is beset by the menacing Dick Sutherland"
and Snub is forced to deal with an equally unattractive heel called
Noah Young while competing for the hand of the lovely Marie Mosquini.
Our glass slide show is comprised of coming attractions featuring
comedy legends like Roscoe Arbuckle and Thelma Todd. Many of the
restored images in this slide show have been exhibited in such places
as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and at silent film conventions
around the country.
