Don't know what the survival status is of these Toddy productions in public archives, but they do exist.

Fox Movie Channel reruns JUST IMAGINE and CHANDU THE MAGICIAN ad nauseum; but they have never once run THE SPIDER, TRICK FOR TRICK, ALMOST MARRIED, BERKELEY SQUARE, SIX HOURS TO LIVE or LILIOM. Why? I'm guessing that nobody at Fox knows about these films. Or perhaps it's because they no longer have prints (Fox had a devastating fire in 1937 which destroyed the negatives for ALL of the studios pre-20th Century productions. Most of the aforementioned titles exist at MOMA, but who knows if Fox has copies).


Fox does have broadcast masters for THE SPIDER and BERKELEY SQUARE the last time I checked. Don't know about prints.

I'm very glad to hear that that FIGHT THAT GHOST and PROFESSOR CREEPS are still extant. Thanks!
