Very entertaining snippet. For a stage comedian, and one whose most memorable films were in the sound era, he made some funny silent comedies.

Victor Moore didn't make anywhere as many silent films as talkies, he concentrated more on his stage stardom during the Silent Era, he did make some good silent films. His 1915 feature CHIMMIE FADDEN OUT WEST does survive at Eastman House, and it's a funny film.
I have prints of three of the Klever Comedies, THE WRONG MR. FOX, FLIVVERING and FAINT HEART AND FAIR LADY and he's good in all of them, and strangely, he looks exactly the same as he did in older age.
