Thusly begins a partnership between the larcenous---but big-hearted---Tim and the precocious newsboy that lasts and prospers while he is growing up.

Clancy in Wall Street
One of the very popular Vaudeville acts for over twenty years was that of Charles Murray and Lucien Littlefield playing respectively Clancy the Irishman and MacIntosh the Scotsman. They made this film in 1930 which showcased their Vaudeville characters. Filled with Depression humor about Wall Street - and funny lines about Wall Street in general! - this is a very appealing little comedy about types and a time that certainly are no more.

Curse of The Swastika
The Curse of The Swastika, a classic British Pathe documentary, illustrates the insidious rise of the Nazi Party from its post World War One origins through Hitlers conniving to become the leader of the party and eventual dictator of his “Third Reich”.

Charley's (Big Hearted) Aunt
Same as below (they filmed this quite often). Richard Murdoch is credited with '(Stinker)' in the middle of his name. It also stars Arthur Askey, a long-forgotten English entertainer. There's a nice attempt at using 'Charley's Aunt' as almost a play-within-a-play. Done with a light enough sense of humor that it toddles along amiably, all clichés intact, with laughs for those easily amused by another English music hall performer donning woman's clothing.

1940
