Re: STUDIO SAP (1931) Chester Conklin, Leo White

The Girl Detective w/ Ruth Roland (1915)
What makes this interesting to comedy buffs is the fact that it represents the first or second film directed by James W. Horne (both were released on Jan. 27 1915). He came to Roach in 1928 with a lot of experience under his belt. From EYE: https://youtu.be/AEQ0J5I79QM
