Might be the most un-funny Hal Roach short ever

I have seen some VERY unfunny Hal Roach shorts. In fact when you leave the Laurel and Hardy list you drop down very low indeed. But The King seems like the rock bottom. Harry Langdon was long past his prime when he made this one. He went on to work for the studio as a writer and sometimes performer. He had much better success writing gags for Stan and Babe. Nothing funny going on here. Kinda sad and tragic.
