Beauty a la Mud 1926

Goodness how time flies, I cannot believe my last post was Thanksgiving! It's about time I did some posting in this now not-so-New-Year....

Something I was very happy to find this year was a DVD of Dot's 1926 silent short "Beauty a la Mud" where she has a part as a beauty shop customer. (It was one of those eureka moments for me ~ you know, when you come across something you thought you'd never find). For some reason, on this DVD the short is called "This is the Life". Dorothy's part is short but sweet.



I like the Internet Movie Database website because people can contribute reviews and information about any films they like. It's where I discovered I could get the DVD and I bought it through Amazon. It's a compilation disc with a few other shorts called: Old Time Comedy Classics Volume 3. Finding this gives me hope that I'll be able to find more obscure Dorothy movies in time.

Speaking of movies.. I have been having problems uploading film shorts to the website, not sure what the issue is but hopefully I'll figure it all out soon!
