Eddie times two!

Eddie Lyons plays dual roles in this comedy short. It all begins with a rich prince arriving in town and the prince's assistant notices a guy selling newspapers is the exact double for the monarch. You are never sure why, but the assistant decides to lock his boss in his hotel room and substitute him at a fancy party. Unfortunately, eventually the prince escapes and now they have TWO princes at the party and chaos ensues.

Is this a great comedy? No. It's a bit short on laughs...but the overall film is mildly enjoyable and lasts the test of time. My only complaint is that you have no idea WHY the prince is being substituted...none.
