Unpretentious, silly and fun

All right. It's not ON THE WATERFRONT. It is, however, several minutes of fast-paced, good-natured humor. The first half is a series of jokes that Arbuckle would elaborate on in ROUGH HOUSE three years down the road. The second half is a warmup for TEDDY AT THE THROTTLE, complete with Keystone Kops and the famous Keystone cyclorama. Roscoe tosses off a joke and gets on to the next one -- none of the elaboration of Chaplin or the grandeur of Keaton, but funnier, perhaps, for not having a fuss made. Look for yourself and see.
