The Voice of Hollywood #10 (1930) -Robert Woolsey, Lew Cody, Gwen Lee, Cliff Edwards & Buster Keaton

This episode was released at 28. April. 1930 and it begins with host Robert Woolsey playing oversized cards while introducing Hollywood stars who will be performing in talkies. The key highlights are as follows: • 0:41 - Gwen Lee & Lew Cody • 1:19 - Cliff Edwards • 1:56 - Raquel Torres & Buster Keaton *P.S.: “The Voice of Hollywood” was a series of short films produced in the early 1930s by Tiffany Productions, a studio known for its efforts to compete with major Hollywood studios before ceasing operations in 1933. The exact number of episodes produced in this series is not definitively documented. However, available information suggests that there were at least 13 episodes. For instance, an episode titled “The Voice of Hollywood with Ruth Roland and Georgie Stone” is identified as Episode 13 from 1930. According to IMDB, this episode (The voice of hollywood #10) is listed as a 10-minute reel. However, I couldn’t locate the full version, as the episode ends at minute 2:51 with Robert Woolsey closing the segment by “signing off for lunch” and a “The End” after the pie scene. This type of short film was a common feature for many years. The most famous example is Columbia’s “Screen Snapshots”, but almost all studios produced similar shorts. These were cost-effective to make, as they often utilized contracted actors and served as great promotional material. Tiffany’s short, however, falls short of being impressive. The performances feel scripted, and the enthusiasm from the actors is minimal. Robert Woolsey’s segment, where he plays solitaire, leaves viewers wondering if it was meant to be that way or if it was his way of expressing boredom. Tiffany was one of the smaller “Poverty Row studios” that aspired to compete with the big production companies but ultimately collapsed in 1933. While larger studios like Paramount, Fox, and Universal struggled with financial difficulties and RKO faced constant instability, they managed to survive because their assets were deemed valuable enough to save. #busterkeaton #interview #silentmovie #silentfilm #talkies
