Björk | Losss
We all are struggling, just doing our best
We've gone through the grinder, suffered loss
Lost to, to which everything flows, an absence which
Attracts floral blooming, softly

whenever i see a poll and vote on it i become a sports fan. instantly i am typing in all caps screaming my truth to the heavens like a kpop stan fighting over who’s cuter. i think i get why they had the feud in gnomeo and juliet now - because it feels good to yell in someone’s face about how right you are

Sid Smith (with Marvel Rea) in Nonsense (1920, Jack White)
Pencil-mustachioed Smith worked for Keystone briefly in 1917, but returned more prominently when teamed with Billy Bevan in Del Lord-directed comedies in 1924 like Lizzies of the Field.
A Fairbault, Minnesota native, Smith started in motion pictures in 1911 with Pathé Western under the direction of James Youngdeer, appearing in films such as Her Son, The Bullet's Mark and The Blind Gypsy. He joined Selig around 1913, appearing in Castles in the Air, the three-reeler Garrison's Finish, Her Victory Internal and Tale of a Coat. Smith played Mickey in "The Red Head" series and appeared in their "Chronicles of Bloom Center" series in 1915.
He married Ruth Beckman on Mar 17, 1915, and they divorced in Apr 1921.
Smith's first starring series came with Alkire Photoplays, and in 1920 he made 26 Holly Comedies for Bulls Eye, featuring Paul Parrott and under the direction of Robert Kerr. Smith supported Monty Banks in his Warner comedies, and in 1921-22 he appeared opposite a succession of other comedians in the successful "Hallroom Boys" series for CBC/Federated. Smith made some shorts for Grand Asher in 1923 and starred in Jack White's Cameo Comedies in 1923-24, before his work at Sennett. Smith had appeared as "Ramon Alfaro" in the feature The Ne'er Do Well(Selig) in 1916, and repeated his role in the 1923 Famous Players-Lasky version. He also appeared in Kismet(Waldorf 1920), and starred in many shorts for Al Christie during the 1920s, for Paramount and Pizor in 1927 and for Goodart in 1928. In 1928, Smith was featured in two World War 1 spoof features for Anchor, Dugan of the Dugouts and Top Sergeant Mulligan.
Smith's death in at 36, was attributed to his having imbibed bad liquor at a Malibu beach party. He left his father J.L. Smith of Fairbault, Minnesota, and brother J.C. Smith of Des Moines, Iowa, and is interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

The director Jack White(center)'s childhood days in Fatty Joins the Force (1913)
A neighborhood kid from Edendale, White appeared in a couple of 1913-14 Keystones (such as the boy who gives Fatty Arbuckle a pie in the face in Fatty Joins the Force). White also briefly worked the Sennett switchboard, but was fired for putting a call through to Ford Sterling that lured the star comedian to another lot. White wound up producing comedies for Educational in the 1920s that competed with Sennett's.
