This is so cool. Great find. I kind of think the commentator was just making a log of what he said up, though, especially the part at the end: “Deal with him, Hemingway!” I don’t know. Maybe he meant for Hemingway to deal with this paparazzi-type commentator. Still very cool.
I believe it is just anecdotal commentary added many years later, as this footage dates to the silent era (1922). But, I agree that it is cool no matter what the scenario is.
Ah, well that’s sweet of you! A new job and struggles with writing my novel have stolen me away from my (and everyone else’s) blog. Hoping to spend more time back here from now on…
