Sherlock Jr [ Buster Keaton ] 1924
Sherlock, Jr. (1924) is an American comedy silent film starring and directed by Buster Keaton and written by Clyde Bruckman, Jean Havez and Joseph A. Mitchell. It features Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton and Ward Crane.[1] In 1991, Sherlock, Jr. was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," and on June 14, 2000 the American Film Institute, as part of its AFI 100 Years... series, ranked the film as #62 in the list of the funniest films of all time (AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs). A movie projectionist and janitor (Buster Keaton) who is studying to become a detective is in love with a beautiful girl (Kathryn McGuire). On a date he presents her with chocolates and an engagement ring. However, there is another man who's also interested in his girl (Ward Crane). One day he is accused of stealing his girlfriend's father's watch. He falls asleep on the job and dreams that he is a Sherlock Holmes-type detective, solving the case of who stole a valuable pearl necklace. Buster Keaton as Projectionist Kathryn McGuire as The Girl Joe Keaton as Her Father Erwin Connelly as The butler/handyman Ward Crane as The sheik/villain Keaton spent more time shooting this film than most of his others, due to the elaborate stunts and effects. Keaton was also injured while filming one of the stunts in which he hangs from a tube connected to a water tower used for replenishing the <b>...</b>

An intriguing example of German Expressionism.

1924 Winter Olympics - Figure Skating Sonja Henie and Gillis Grafstrom
1924 Winter Olympics - Figure Skating Sonja Henie and Gillis Grafstrom
....and more!!! A very RARE glimpse at the early days of Figure Skating. This is actually the official Figure skating film of the 1924 Winter Olympic Games from Chamonix, France. It was made by Jean de Rovera and is thought to be the first commercially available film of the Olympic Games. There's some speed skating to start and this is followed by Sonja Henie, Herma Plank-Szabo, Gillis Grafstrom, Willy Bockl, Helene Engelmann and Alfred Berger and Charles Sabouret who finished 9th in pairs at this event with Simone Sabouret. I'm not sure if they were married or siblings - probably the latter. It's brief I know and apart from the footage of Henie, which has been featured in various documentaries, the rest has been unseen for many years. I hope you enjoy this precious glimpse into the past.

René Clair - Entr'acte (1924) - Part 1/2
In his search for "pure" cinema, René Clair followed the Dadaist approaches of photomontage (as advocated by John Heartfield—a technique which involved "the meeting place of a thousand spaces"), and the random (as advocated by Tristan Tzara). True to those premises, Clair juxtaposed images and events as disparate as a chess game played by Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, a cannon ignited by Erik Satie and Francis Picabia, a funeral where the coat of arms bearing the initials of Satie and Picabia was displayed, a ballerina, a sniper, inflatable balloon heads, the Luna Park rollercoaster, etc. These events were shot from a number of angles (including the ballerina from below through a plate of glass), and at varying speeds (from Satie and Picabia jumping toward the cannon in slow motion to the funeral procession racing off at the speed of the Keystone cops). While the images stressed the content as play, the director stressed the style as playfulness. Through his film Clair invoked the entire catalogue of available cinematic techniques, abandoned the notion of narrative causality, and in true Dadaist style, espoused the overthrow of the bourgeois norm. The audience was assaulted with a series of non-related and often provocative images—from a "legless" man rising from his wagon and running away at full tilt, to a ballerina transformed into a bearded man—within a work which stressed the pleasure of inventing new spatial and temporal relations while provoking random laughter <b>...</b>

COMMUNIST MONGOLIA 1924-1990
In 1924, after the death of the religious leader and king Bogd Khan, a Mongolian People's Republic was proclaimed with support from the Soviet Union. In 1928, Khorloogiin Choibalsan rose to power. He instituted collectivisation of livestock, the destruction of Buddhist monasteries and the Mongolia's enemies of the people persecution resulting in the murder of monks and other people. In Mongolia during the 1920s, approximately one third of the male population were monks. By the beginning of the 20th century about 750 monasteries were functioning in Mongolia.[12] The Stalinist purges in Mongolia beginning in 1937, affected the Republic as it left more than 30000 people dead. Japanese imperialism became even more alarming after the invasion of neighboring Manchuria in 1931. During the Soviet-Japanese Border War of 1939, the Soviet Union successfully defended Mongolia against Japanese expansionism. In August 1945 Mongolian forces also took part in the Soviet Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation in Inner Mongolia. The Soviet threat of seizing parts of Inner Mongolia[citation needed] induced China to recognize Outer Mongolia's independence, provided that a referendum was held. The referendum took place on October 20, 1945, with (according to official numbers) 100% of the electorate voting for independence. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, both countries confirmed their mutual recognition on October 6, 1949. In January 26, 1952, Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal <b>...</b>

La Bella Cubana ( Edison recording 1924)
An experimental recording in 1924 by Thomas Alva Edison. "La bella Cubana - habanera (1924) "La Bella Cubana ‐ José White (composer) José Silvestre de los Dolores White Lafitte (1835‐1918) was such a fine violinist that they called him 'el Paganini cubano' (the Cuban Paganini). José White, violinist and com‐ poser, was an African‐American Cuban, partly of Haitian background. He was such a fine violinist, that he was compared favorably with his contemporaries Weinawski, Viewtemps, and Ole Bull (a great Norwegian violinist). White was famous in Europe, especially in Paris, and performed in New York and Boston as well on a Stradivarius violin. He was a friend of the famous Afro‐American musician Gottschalk of Louisiana. Despite the prejudices of the times, José White was a student of and then an assistant to the great violin teacher Delphin Alard in the 1860s at the Paris Conservatoire; he also married a French Countess. José White wrote a lot of violin music, including a concerto for violin and the song La Bella Cubana, which became his most famous work and the most popular Cuban song after the National Anthem. The middle section of La Bella Cubana is a Cuban zapateado. From about 1870 to the1970s his concerto was lost. Finally, it was found at the Paris Conser‐ vatoire and was premiered first by Ruggiero Ricci, then by Aaron Rosand with the New York Philharmonic, and then in 1976 by Maestro Luís Haza at Catholic University in Wash‐ ington, DC.

"Somebody Stole My Gal" (Ted Weems, 1924)
Here's the theme song (instrumental) of one of the early Jazz Age's finest combos, the Ted Weems Orchestra. More on Ted, the band and the tune from Wiki: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wilfred Theodore (Ted) Weems (originally Wemyes) (26 September 1901 - 6 May 1963) was a United States bandleader and musician. Born in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania, Weems learned to play the violin and trombone. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he and his brother Art organized a small dance band. Going professional in 1923, Weems toured for the MCA Corporation, recording for several years on Victor Records. Somebody Stole My Gal became the band's first #1 hit in early 1924. Weems moved to Chicago with his band around 1928. The Ted Weems Orchestra had more chart success in 1929 with the novelty song "Piccolo Pete", and the #1 hit The Man from the South. The band gained popularity in the 1930s, making regular radio broadcasts. These included Jack Benny's Canada Dry program on NBC during the early 1930s, and the Fibber McGee & Molly program in the late 1930s. In 1936, the Ted Weems Orchestra gave singer Perry Como his first national exposure; Como recorded with the band (on Decca Records), beginning his long and successful career. Among Weems' other discoveries were whistler-singer Elmo Tanner, sax player and singer Red Ingle, Marilyn Maxwell, who left the band for an acting career, and arranger Joe Haymes, who created the band's unique jazz-novelty style. During World War II, Ted Weems enlisted <b>...</b>
