Trivia:

He had a rather unique skit that he performed in the Larry Semon film "The Bellhop" (1921) and the Bobby Raye film "Hop to It!" (1925). In them, he was a guest staying at the bellhop's motel, and water was dripping from the ceiling onto his face, causing him to dream he was at the beach, swimming in the sea... See more »
