Here's an early Jimmy Aubrey starring short. In it, he finds a ticket to a magic show, goes, and disrupts the proceedings.
Aubrey wears a Ford Sterling beard, and the character is a German or 'stage Dutch' one, which is why he is called 'Heinie' -- not to be confused with Heinie Conklin, I suppose. Much of the identified cast was associated at this time with Harry Watson Jr's Musty Suffer comedies, so that's another person not to confuse him with.
What we are left with is one of those messy comedies of the period in which an unlikable character makes a mess. As with so much of Aubrey's work, I am left with the vague conclusion that he might very well be a capable comic, but his material fails to show this.
Oh, I agree with my fellow commenter about the annoying quality of the music this has been posted to YouTube with.
