5/10

Episode 4 out of 12.

In the 1920s, Alberta Vaughn starred in a series of 12 'Telephone Girl' shorts. I have no idea if the other 11 episodes still exist, but I saw episode 4, "Sherlock's Home". In it, the light heavyweight champion boxer is enamored with Alberta. It's hard to tell whether Alberta likes the guy or not...but by the end of the story there is a huge secret that comes out as well as an unexpected result in a boxing match.

While "Sherlock's Home" is a reasonably pleasant short, there is one huge problem...it's a comedy and there just aren't that many laughs. Watchable, of course....just not super funny.
