Comment: At least Ben Alexander (1911-1969) in a dark (blue ?) sailor suit. Aka The Battle of Youth.

Handsome child actor (still handsome later as teen). He did some more movies, also in bib overalls (see other blog, A Self-Made Failure (1924)), maybe some more in sailor suits. At least some movies are lost (not this one, but I haven't found it). Directed by King Vidor. Pic from Wikipedia.

Rating ~3-4 for now.

I have to search for more movie with him.

Also in a dark sailor suit in The Mayor of Filbert (1919), pics on IMDb.

Info 322: Linkfix Photo Albums, upcoming image issues

 

Google again change(d) the URL of the blog pictures and finally shut down PicasaWeb Albums by July 19th 2023. At least the embedded photos, mainly PD/CC including my exclusive pics (tagged stories), most starting with picasaweb.google, probably will not show up anymore. 

The photos themselves are still available, but on Google Photos. I won't fix every URL. Here are the new links of all albums

Lederhosen PD mainly sailor suits exclusive

Color Sailor suit CC

Color Sailor suit PD

Lederhosen CC.

Blog's movie photos:

New uploads since ~Dec 2021 starting with blogger.usergooglecontent are safe. Older pics with bp.blogspot obviously has to be fixed, not sure if Google fix them automatically. So it's possible, that even more pix will be missing. I will then fix mainly the important pics (rating 7-10) and have to focus my other blog. For more info see my overalls blog, including upcoming posts. 

Update: On July 20, the Picasa Albums had been deleted. Luckily the movie photos were not affected, just the earlier embedded manual uploads. Most pics are still displayed but the target link is defunct and not fixed by Google. I think they're sorted chronologically on Google Photos.

Comment: At least this boy in short Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. I think smooth finish or nappa leather. Also shown sitting side view, from a distance. Clip from episode 1. WDR Schulfernsehen. 

Probably only this very brief scene, so rating ~3-4 only.

I also found some more very rare footage inside this series including "Speak for Yourself" for my English School TV blog.

Another great retro YouTube channel is Rosa Mannen (Pink Men) with many rare uploads from Swedish Television. For more info see both my other blogs.
