Years ago I had a complete and gorgeous print of this one, Richard. Later it was one of several I had sold to a 16mm comedy collector named Dan Bursik. It's not one of Ben's best for the little company, agreed, but would have been great to see again on Weiss-A-Rama Two. Also in the cast were Joe Bon...

Hi Tommy. No, doesn't look like Joe Roberts to me. Besides, I think he'd been dead for a few years when this film was made.

Richard... You are in a respected and educated class by yourself along with the rest of we merry mafioso, your friends and fans. I too get annoyed by silly things wherever they appear such as trying to ID a familiar face. I'll admit few faces are occasionally hard, some may not even be actors. In mo...

Thanks for the heads up on this enjoyable Larry Semon comedy, Richard.

Also saw William McCall as a cop, and Owen Evans as Blanche's mop.

There may be mention of a sale in the pages of the old film journals at Lantern, Hilde. A lot of people saw gold (or silver) in the film and thought it would be a good investment and che...

Hi Jim!

The only guy I know, of the four you question, is number three: BILLY FRANEY.

The other three guys may get billing in other films, but I don't know them.

Hilde, you certainly know your way to this man's heart! Would be great to sew this one back together as originally released, I'd love to see it all or most of it. Thanks so much for sharing these images and for all your - and your teammates - hard work at EYE. And thanks for keeping the memory and w...
