Yes, I knew he was a ventriloquist. "The Great Gabbo" is also on the Kino dvd with "Blind Husbands". Since you have "Foolish Wives" on laser you might be interested to know that "Foolish Wives" is also out on dvd.By the way, I just bought the Kino's dvd release of "Queen Kelly" and am looking foreward to watching it in the next day or 2. It was "restored" in 1985". Once again von Stroheim gets carried away with his creative vision, and again he is fired before the film is completed. I am curious how well the alternate endings are presented on dvd. Particularly interesting since the original filming was being done with Swanson's money and this release is "Presented in Association with the Gloria Swanson Estate".
