It's only been forever, but life is rather hectic. I hope my 2 readers are being safe and staying covid-free. As a reminder, Mr. B lost one of his daughters during the 1918 influenza pandemic. Neither virus/viruses are a joke.
So in memory of that terrible event, here's some stuff from 1918 or so featuring Mr. B:
From Laugh, Clown, Laugh, 1918, Broadway, color by me
The Copperhead, Bway, 1918, a huge hit for him.
1918 Vanity Fair portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man
Portrait in character as Milt Shanks from The Copperhead, 1918
I love this... 1918 "whirlwind finish of the Greatest Motion Picture Contest Ever Conducted". Mr. B wasn't actually making films in 1918, so kind of impressive he leapfrogs Jack by FAR.
