Joe Donahue caught my eye in EXPENSIVE WOMEN which led to me watching SUNNY in which he has a surprisingly large part. His only other two movies were features starring Dorothy Mackaill, THE RECKLESS HOUR and PARTY HUSBAND. Donahue has a pretty good part in all of these titles except the last. As I remark in the post, he kind of reminded me of a Dan Dailey prototype. Anyway, I found one more short that the IMDb should have been crediting to him and, $9.95 later, finally confirmed his death as well -- the IMDb had an empty space, but born in 1899 he had to be gone by now, right? Yes, Joe Donahue died on his 44th birthday in 1943. Enjoy: immortalephemera/45217/joe-donahue-worlds-greatest-dancer-sunny/
