An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) All at Sea, the 1929 Alfred J. Goulding (billed as "Alf Goulding") silent Navy Naval military sailor comedy ("The laugh on the ocean wave"; about a vaudeville hypnotist/magician who performs at a club frequented by sailors and Marines, and a sailor hires him to hypnotize his friend, with comedic results) starring Karl Dane (as "Stupid McDuff"), George K. Arthur, Josephine Dunn, Herbert Prior, and Eddie Baker. Note that Karl Dane and George K. Arthur appeared in two of the same movies in the mid-1920s, and then in 1927, MGM paired the huge Dane with the diminutive Arthur as a comedy team in 1927's "Rookies", and they were a huge hit, and over the next four years, they appeared in a total of 17 comedies as a Laurel & Hardy-like slapstick comedy team. But Dane had a very thick accent, and he could not make the transition to sound movies, and he had a few bit parts given to him by friends, but by 1934, he was washed up, and he bought a hot dog cart which he displayed outside of the MGM gates! Apparently, he reasonably found this extremely depressing, and he soon committed suicide. The following year, Arthur retired from movies and became a Broadway producer among other careers, and he lived until 1985, when he was 86 years old! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
