Happy Belated Birthday to @kelleepratt.bsky.social - a true star, a great star - shown here at #Capitolfest with a mere supporting player
Oh golly how I adore her. #FYEMO
How I wish I could get a DVD of “The Poor Rich” , a 1934 pre-code romp with Edward Everett Horton I saw at #Capitolfest some years ago. I nearly fell out of my chair.
We also saw Heather Thatcher in a suitably eccentric small role in MAN HUNT (1941) at #Capitolfest a few years back when the Bennett sisters were featured. #Gaslight #TCMParty
There was a sound sync problem with one film at #CapitolFest this year (@citizenscreen.bsky.social - do you recall which?) and much of the audience starting saying “No! No! No!” (falsetto) followed by “Yes! Yes! Yes!” (basso voce) #SinginInTheRain #TCMParty #SUTS
Remembering Jane Wyatt on her birthday #botd
We just saw her star in Edward Buzzell’s THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD (1936) at #Capitolfest

Have a great time!!! #Capitolfest #TCMParty
I’ve been having a really lousy, unhappy, frustrating, angry, mind numbing, awful week.
A few words from Mario Cantone (with @benmank77.bsky.social as a foil) has me laughing and feeling a lot better. For a few hours, anyway. (Catching an early flight to #CapitolFest.) #TCMParty #AStarIsBorn54 #SUTS
Counting the days until #Capitolfest 2025 with tribute stars Laura LaPlante and ZaSu Pitts.
August 8, 9, & 10!
See you rhere, @classicmoviehub.bsky.social @watchingforever.bsky.social @alanhait.bsky.social & others!
“Fourscore and seven….”
See you soon! #Capitolfest
One week from today we will gather at the history Capitol Theatre in Rome, NY to watch Leo McCarey’s RUGGLES OF RED GAP (1935), this year’s pre- #Capitolfest screening.
Remembering ZaSu Pitts (January 3, 1894 – June 7, 1963) who will be honored actor at this year’s #Capitolfest
Stu Erwin and Eugene Pallette in DUDE RANCH (1931)
Eugene Pallette as an Indian is one of many hilarious scenes in DUDE RANCH, which we were honored to see at #CapitolFest a few years back. Screamingly funny.
Yesterday at #Capitolfest we saw BROADWAY (1929) which was an early Universal talkie, similar to #TheBroadwayMelody and THE SHOW OF SHOWS from Warners.
Except BROADWAY was a hot mess of a movie. But it did have a color sequence at the end for The Big Number. #TCMParty www.imdb.com/title/tt0019...
