This is the first minute and 55 seconds of a roughly 15 minute short of Osborne's made in 1939. Originally uploaded in the early hours of June 15th, 2020 by a channel known as \"Old Film\" (Which has since been deleted due to a private incident) which also featured several other videos of film, and had also a few unidentified custom 78s on there. This channel was lead by a man who wishes to remain anonymous. This video was named only as \"Will Osborne Orchestra\" originally, and was very helpful early on in Identifying the sidemen of the band at this point, and confirming several Osborne related questions. As for how Old Film himself got ahold of this film, here it is in his own words:
\"Well I'm a long retired motion picture projectionist and technician. Had over 50 years at it. Spent years carrying away unwanted film. Parts pieces whatever. And people often found film and gave it to me as I am not afraid of the old \"Nitrate\" Few years ago as I have 35mm equipment. I started putting the stuff on video. It was all just shot off the screen but with synching the projector to the video camera. And the camera only did 1:85 so that is the 1:37 ratio just laid into the 1:85 hence black on each side. I'd never heard of Will Osborne. But had this piece of film that had been on a hard drive. One day I set up the you tube channel. And there sits mostly unwatched bunch of old miscellaneous material no one looks at. LOL\"
Since this has came out, me and another, Hayden Gyuras have been on-and-off looking for the full length original short, but we have not found anything yet. We have found out some of the content of this film though, and are looking forward to the future time when we can finally get our hands on it to share with everyone, but also to study it to further advance Osborne-... Osbornism? Osbornology? Osborneitery? (That's a decision for another time) and other things as well.
