THE BELLS AND HAVING THEIR PICTURE TOOK

THE BELLS starring Lionel Barrymore, E. Alyn Warren, Boris Karloff and Gustav von Seyffertitz. Directed by James Young. A village innkeeper in a quaint little town, Mathias (Barrymore) is a well-liked and contented candidate for Burgomaster. He is also, unfortunately, nagged by poverty and deeply in debt. One snowy Christmas night he finally succumbs to temptation and murders a traveling Polish peddler for his money. It's not long before the peddler's restless ghost and a mysterious, all-knowing mesmerist (Karloff) make Mathias' life a living nightmare. A wonderful Christmas tale of the supernatural with a terrific cast, superb settings and wonderful atmosphere. A delight! HAVING THEIR PICTURE TOOK starring Joseph Burke, Henry Blakemore, Katherine Griffith, Baby Early Gorman and Matty Roubert. Directed by Harry C. Matthews. One fine day a family takes an outing for the novel adventure of having a group portrait made. The poor photographer soon learns that this is no ordinary family, they're more like a destructive small army. The photo session quickly descends to a free-for-all leaving the photographer's studio in a shambles. Reminiscent of the later Our Gang comedy "Wild Poses", this is a fun little film with plenty of laughs. Original music scores composed and performed by Jeff Rapsis.
