On a side note, in EVERETT TRUE BREAKS INTO THE MOVIES (1916), there is a Chaplin impersonator as well; never a part of the story, this non-identified fellow is in three scenes (first in line outside the office, first in line inside the office, and then in the middle of the crowd in the office). Ve...

Could someone please tell me who the man is in this with the note? He's in many Roach comedies of this era but I haven't been nail down his name.

This was the first time I could view a Dressler Goldwyn. It was much better than I expected in fact I enjoy her in this film more than I do in TILLIE's PUNCTURED ROMANCE.

They bear initials of Christie and other Christie personnel. I have seen about a half dozen Wanda Wiley Universal shorts and I get the...

Malcolm Sebastian is in this too. He was also working for Christie at this time.

The LOC has a second reel of a Weiss sound film where where they rip-off THAT"S MY WIFE. Pollard does the drag bit and wears no mustache in this one. The supporting cast was unknown to me making me think its east coast. The film has a musical interlude with a white jazz band.
