[78-L] New Vitaphone Six disc set out on Tuesday

[Michael Biel]

There will be a new six disc set of Vitaphone shorts released by Warner 
Archives on Tuesday . Ordering info is not up yet and they did hot yet 
put up the contents either in their Facebook page or their website, but 
here is the list that those of you who are on Ron Hutchinson's facebook 
page saw a few hours ago. Apparently it even caught Ron by surprise that 
it will be six discs because he was mentioning it as three discs in his 
first posting yesterday.

Here is the full film rundown on this wonderful set being released by 
Warner Archive on 12/14/2010:
