Hal Roach the lot of fun ( Visual )
2 editions published between 1998 and 2002 in English and held by 46 libraries worldwide
On the stages and backlots of the Hal Roach Studio, the ingredients of classic slapstick were refined with more sophisticated and gradually-paced narratives that allowed many of Roach's stars to make the difficult transition to sound films. From the late 1920's through the Depression, Laurel and Hardy were the jewel in the crown of the Hal Roach Studio. These seven films present excerpts and complete films of their great silent short comedies. Also included are the Our Gang comedy team (Dogs of war) and an early film of Will Rogers (Big moments from little pictures).

Chaplin's Essanay comedies. Vol. 3 ( Visual )
2 editions published between 1999 and 2006 in English and held by 45 libraries worldwide
In Chaplin's Essanay Comedies cinema's greatest comedian was first able to build his screen work around his performance style rather than forcing himself, as before, into Mack Sennett's frenzied Keystone comedy matrix. With this freedom Chaplin evolved in a year from the gag comedian of "His New Job" to the brilliant pantomimist of "A Night Out," "The Champion," "The Tramp" and "Shanghaied" to the profound satirist of "Police." Includes "Shanghaied," "A Night in the Show," "Burlesque on 'Carmen'" (all 1915), "Police," "Triple Trouble" (both 1916).
