Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Thanks to all involved and continuing this much appreciated show. Such a treat seeing a preservation world premiere of a 99 (!) year old Johnny Arthur film! Pretty cool. I didn't send a waving photo so I'll just wave here 🖐😄🖐

Well, I can never really thank you guys enough for helping get me through the pandemic. It was a very mentally taxing & challenging time, much as it was for great many other people. The SCWP reignited my childhood love for "funny old movies", introduced me to new favourites that I continue to love & educated me on all those amazing unsung heroes of the silent cinema screen. All your hard work is so greatly appreciated - Steve from the UK

Thanks for a fun episode-- well, they're all fun! Enjoyed the "Mr. Kerr" story-- amazing !! The info/history you provide on these films is always interesting and impressive. Congrats on #100!

Greetings from Spuyten Duyvil in The Bronx. Another great show...Thanks Ben, Steve and all the folks that help make this possible!

[@judithcox8507]

I, also, live in Spuyten Duyvil, and watch Ben's silent films. Do you also see him at the Bruno Walter Auditorium in the Library for the Performing Arts?

Thank you so much! I teared up at the end at your heartfelt words. Mona is so delightful. Keep laughing!

[@noirboi]

Thank you for this great episode and I must say I really like Mona's laugh. 😊

[@SilentMovieSteve]

Watching from Suffolk, VA. That was a wonderful 100th episode and 4th Anniversary! Thank you so much to Ben, Steve, and the entire team for making this happen and helping us all laugh together for the last four years!

[@robertrdhansen]

Happy 4th Anniversary from Chicago! Thank you for all you do!

[@wardjewell]

Thank you for 4 years of great laughs! We appreciate all the work and time you have all our into the watch party. Ward and Nancy, Wichita, Kansas.

[@BabyBlisss]

Happy Anniversary! This was another one for the books. It was amazing to see a 'new' Arbuckle-directed short, what a find! And it's always delightfully confusing when I'm able to read both the displayed intertitles AND the translation simultaneously. Also, it’s an absolute honour to be in the fan montage with such legends. And so many silent film artwork and apparel! Speaking of apparel: ALL of the SCWP team looked absolutely on point for this anniversary edition! Fabulous. Special shout-out to Mana’s outfit! So sorry you didn’t get to wear that number before because of the pandemic but I’m glad you got to wear it here because you look amazing and I’m so jealous of that outfit! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 - oh and watching from Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

[@manaallen7641]

Thanks so much!!! 💖

[@pauletcheverry5572]

Cheers from the Hudson Valley (Kingston, NY) and congratulations on 100 episodes! Thanks to all of you who have made this series happen! The Silent Comedy Watch Party and our pets got us through the many months of extended isolation during lockdown.

[@moonchildluvsbobcrane]

Enjoyed it very much was great seeing everyone involved. 😊

[@metaldams78]

Congrats on one hundred episodes of wonderful entertainment. I hope Steve can lend us his knowledge and Ben will tickle the ivories for a long time to come. Thanks for everything. - Doug Sarnecky

[@metaldams78]

I would like to add when Steve mentioned some people know Al “Fuzzy” St. John as a western sidekick and not a silent comedian - my father is an example. My Dad’s not a silent comedy fan but he is a Baby Boomer who grew up watching westerns. He was shocked when I explained that’s Arbuckle’s nephew who was really fit and athletic in his youth doing crazy stunts.

[@philposner9616]

Great show guys. I enjoyed the Arthur/Arbuckle film a lot. So many really clever gags. Happy Anniversary!!!

[@greggdavidson8937]

Congratulations on 100 shows and your 4th anniversary. Another enjoyable show. I made a point of watching it live on the west coast to be part of the virtual audience. The montage was terrific. They should hire Ben to do the Oscars memorium so we can actually see the people in the photos and have time to read their names! Great job to you all. Gregg from West Hollywood, CA

[@RochelleMG]

Happy 4th Anniversary and 100th show. Cleaning Up was very funny but that poor kitty. I saw you at MoMA for the Fleischer festival and enjoyed the accompaniment to Out of the Inkwells.

[@alfredstjohn]

George Davis was in Hellzapoppin(1941) and had a couple great scenes with Mischa Auer! I recommend that movie to everyone, it's like a live action cartoon and unlike anything else. If you enjoy silent comedy, that's a sound film you will enjoy. The outfit of Mona is beautiful, by the way
