Talk:Hadji Ali

Filmography
Right now there is nothing to support adding this to the article but in my research I came across this NYT article on the 1932 film Scarlet Dawn, which has one Hadji Ali playing the role of "Turkish Landlord". Other than the date and that it's not uncommon for vaudeville performers to pop up here and there in bit roles in films, I don't know if this is this Ali. Anyway, if anyone happens to have the film they can verify by sight whether it is or is not this fellow and report back.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:17, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * On page 33 of The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures Produced in the United States, Hadji Ali was credited in 1931's Politiquerias and 1932's Scarlet Dawn (just credits, no other information of his role or anything). It notes that he could be the same actor credited as Ali in 1931's Rango.  A more comprehensive account of Politiquerias (released in Costa Rica on 1 May 1931, Argentina on 11 Jun 1931, and Puerto Rico on 24 Jun 1931) can be found on p. 782 of the American Film Institute Catalog.

 * Note that p. 2765 of Jay Robert Nash's The Motion Picture Guide also credits "Hadji Ali (Turkish landlord)" for Scarlet Dawn, but I am unable to gleam further information from this. Jappalang (talk) 03:13, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

DoB
The article reads (c. 1888–92 – November 5, 1937); to me, it reads like "born somewhen between 88 and 92". The note, however, says "[...]sources give Ali's year of birth as 1892 or approximately 1892. [...] If Ali's daughter was accurate about her father's age at the time of his death, he was born in 1887 or '88", meaning Ali is born either 1888 or 1892, making it somewhat misleading (and the possible dob 1887 is missing anyway). How about something like: (c. 1887, 1888 or 1892 - November 5, 1937)? Regards, Mottengott (talk) 13:26, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * With Sudirman I put the generally accepted date in the lead and infobox and gave a note afterwards. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:05, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Burial place?
Considering all the travels and adventures befalling his corpse, it is a wonder that this article doesn't say where Hadji Ali is buried. Whereizzit? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 18:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Late mention
A late discussion of Hadji Ali was Judy Garland on the Tonight Show (24 June 1968) starting around 13:04. Another was on David Blaine's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. — Llywelyn II   06:39, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
