These are stills from an unidentified film Ive had in my possession for years now. the announcer looks familiar also: This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
The man in the shorter/dark trunks looks similar to Tommy Ryan... although the stetson hats in the crowd suggest a much later date.
That second picture looks a hell of a lot like Greb. The frontal not so much... ...But I know better... It would be really intersesting to know who they are... Looks like good film.
I agree ,the picture looks a lot of young Harry Greb in 1913-14.Young Harry [if him]would be about 19 years old ?
I think it dates to around 1910 or so. The tall, dark skinned guy looks kind of like andrew jeptha to me but I kind of doubt its him.
the shorter one looks like Ted Kid lewis without actualy being him. going by the hats, ring stakes and haircuts I think its the jack johnson era. hand clippers didnt get going in a big way untill 1914ish and nobody there has a bare back and sides even though it must be summer. film looks realy clear. could be australia, the taller guy looks part aboriginal.
