Bob J and Tom K ...and other Mystery man followers. I just spotted our short pudgy guy in the Episode the Cave Rescue. When Barney tries to arrest Mr. Meldrum for breaking into his own bank, our attention is drawn to Jud and Choney, but in the foreground in the center of the screen there is Mr. Schwamp's Brother in Silence. He, like Scwamp, sometimes appears to be a married or dating man, as he does with a woman here.
This is a good episode for Extras/Background Actors. Tom Jacobs appears, as does Nice Dress Nellie, and a guy I call Horn-rimmed Harry (a smallish guy--always has on black glasses). Ironically I don't think we see the original brother of silence..Mr. Schwamp. http://www.mayberry.info/history/index.php?title=Mr._Schwamp This episode is also interesting for another aspect we recently discussed. Someone brought up the lack of variety in Barney's wardrobe. For the picnic we see Barney in a casual shirt, with a sweater draped over his shoulders..but, look at what pants he is wearing....the old Salt and Pepper. He's down there digging in the cave in his suit pants!! ....and of course this episode included one of what we just discussed was one of Mayberry greatest secrets..that Andy and Helen did not need to be rescued, The Untrained Voice Watching for the Brothers In Silence and Sisters of Mum _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
