The second wave of
Kino's Slapstick Symposium is scheduled for release on September 13th, and
Silent DVD has an
advanced look at all of the discs. They are releasing another three collections this time. First, a series of
Oliver Hardy films before he teamed up with Stan Laurel and became a super-star, then, a two disc
Harold Lloyd collection including some of his greatest shorts: High and Dizzy and Never Weaken. The third disc is arguably the best: another helping of
Charley Chase comedy classics. Silent DVD also has some news on
upcoming silent releases.
Be sure to check out our previous installments too: we've covered the
SlapHappy series,
The 2005 SF Silent Film Festival, and the
Forgotten Films of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
