HUSTLING FOR HEALTH 1919 STAN LAUREL

[@dennisneo1608]

There's such another worldly feeling to these old reels.

[@davidharris733]

The railway station in the movie is Santa Fe. L&H made the movie Berth Marks in 1929 at the same location. Just a tidbit.

100 years ago ! Sure boggles the mind, glad that a few of these silent films have survived.

[@SpicyHobbit03]

It's truly amazing but also very sad for someone who loves history as much as I do. Watching this century old film makes me feel strangely connected to the past and the people we are seeing here. Sad to think that they are all dead

[@skyealgleb]

@@SpicyHobbit03 Me Too!

[@SandraTogni-eg2bb]

[@Kerveros1904]

The shocking moment when you realize that not even the baby will be alive today...

[@jessicaallen901]

Well It could be possible they may be around still if the baby in this film is in their 100s

[@skyealgleb]

@@jessicaallen901 Could be, it would be interesting to meet people who might still alive who worked in the early years of Hollywood. Would love to talk with them!

[@UberSynth]

Isto é história

[@maximilliancamilleri7907]

Does anyone know what the second piece of background music is ?

[@Hagebuddne983]

Does anybody know the names of the songs?

[@gabizico2411]

[@danielsaillardon9226]

Une version française ne serait pas de trop ?

[@emperor-zelch1850]

Shook to know that if a film don't get good box office money it disappears

[@gowdsake7103]

Not quite sure what the Charlie Chaplin impression was for but was funny

[@usedscar]

Charlie Chaplin was in the same company. Laurel was his understudy.

[@mrsbrownandhercat]

@@usedscar Not quite. This was a Rolin movie, a joint business between Hal Roach and Dan Linthicum. In 1919 Chaplin was working for 1st National Pictures. Stan and Chaplin had both been in the Fred Karno compny, where Stan was the understudy, but that was all live theatre. With Chaplin's success, most of the clowns in the new movie industry were Chaplin imitators, including Stan and Harold Lloyd, not to mention the most convincing - Billy West. So yes, they were in the same company, but not the same film company. www.judgefoozlesforum.com/showthread.php?tid=397

@@mrsbrownandhercat www.pinterest.com/pin/459719074437568310/ This doesn't look like Stan, but he was Chaplin"s understudy around 1917

[@usedscar]

@@mrsbrownandhercat Stan Laurel was understudy for Charlie Chaplin at the Oldham ... Pinterest Stan Laurel was understudy for Charlie Chaplin at the Oldham Coliseum in 1910.

[@mrsbrownandhercat]

@@usedscar No, the Karno company went bust in 1913 so the understudy position was formally discontinued. Stan and Chaplin went their separate ways, Chaplin into films in 1914 and Stan into Vaudeville with various troupes, until he made his first picture in 1917. Stan and Chaplin never worked together after Karno in 1913.

[@laurastone6578]

OK, what's the deal with the "white faces"?

[@LoneWolf051]

shows facial expressions on the old cameras better

[@gowdsake7103]

works for one of the dumbest questions EVER

[@mrsbrownandhercat]

Before panchromatic film, orthochromatic could not distinguish so well between "white" skin and daylight, so the stage clown make-up known as "pancake" was used to give some contrast. Eyebrows were exaggerated with crayons and moustaches helped with facial recognition.
