Unidentified Ham and Bud photo

Here's a Ham & Bud photo that I bought recently. The seller claimed that it was from a film called Chicken Hunters, but I can't find any information on such a film.

I think this is from HAM TAKES A CHANCE (Feb 15, 1916), but it could also be from GHOST HOUNDS (Feb 6, 1917).

Thanks, Richard. Neither is listed in Ron Magliozzi's Treasures from the Film Archives, so I'm guessing that both these titles are likely lost.

There's a print of HAM TAKES A CHANCE at MoMA. I saw it back in 1985, and it's likely this film as it's set in a vaudeville theatre and there is a snake (which it's Bud's job to walk and there's business of him taking it out on a leash).

Thanks, Steve!
