Even Paramount figured out how to make a successful Mack Sennett talkie feature: Million Dollar Legs. And Sennett had nothing to do with it.

Re: SPUDS (1927) Larry Semon
It is a wonderful comedy, with a heartfelt tribute to Chaplin, that is laden with gobs of racial humor. I would expect to see Topsy and Eva released on home video before this one.
