Picking Peaches

There was a time -- even as late as the 70's -- that Harry Langdon was considered one of the top four silent screen comedy actors, along with Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd.

Alas, today he is all but forgotten. And Lloyd is not far behind in the forgotten arena.

I was never a fan of Langdon, having only seen a couple of his feature films. But I have to say this short is pretty decent. He had a good comedic style, but an unusual face. Sadly, he died very young in the 1940's

As a bit of tid, he had one son, Harry Jr., who became a photographer of celebrities and last I checked, was still alive and still had an office in Beverly Hills. He must be in his 80'sor 90's by now and recently got married too!!!
