MEET THE FOLKS (1927) - Jimmie Adams a.k.a. James Adams, a.k.a. Jimmy Adams of The Ranch Boys, (4 October 1888 - 19 December 1933) was a silent-screen comedian. He appears here in a two-reel comedy from the Al Christie studios. NUGGET JIM'S PARDNER (1916) - Frank Borzage, the first person to ever win the Academy Award for Best Director appears as the lead actor in this 1916 film.
