They should replace that guy with Chaplin's understudy.

Thanks for posting that Dave, amazing what one finds on Youtube, and Silent Comedy Mafia these days.

I am convinced the main reason Hal Roach hired Stan Laurel in 1918 was because Stan resembled Toto.

That makes sense, but even Stan looked more normal than Mr. Novello.
