Re: EX-PLUMBER (1931) Lloyd Hamilton, Addie McPhail

Heck, there are a bunch of idiots on Youtube who think that Billy West's HIS DAY OUT is HER FRIEND THE BANDIT right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgm6gioaWss You're asking us to second guess someone's mistake from sixty years ago, and what does it matter? Whatever they showed, it wasn't HER F...
