WILLIE THE HUNTER 1912 Lubin with Burns and Stull

Walter Stull stars as WILLIE THE HUNTER with George Reehm as one of the club members and Bobby Burns as the bear. It would be reasonable to assume that Arthur Hotaling directed this and FIXING A FLIRT.

SCHOOLDAY LOVE (Campbell comedy 1922)

Another kids and animals comedy from William Campbell. IMDB says it stars Coy Watson Jr, Doreen Turner and Lawrence Licalzi; I have no idea. I think the hunter might be Jack Cooper and the bear is a hoot!

SPLASHING THROUGH 1927 Collegians

Here is SPLASHING THROUGH (Universal 1927) directed by Nat Ross with George J. Lewis, Dorothy Gulliver, Eddie Phillips, Hayden Stevenson, Churchill Ross and, I believe, a young (and thinner) Andy Devine.

Syd Chaplin clip 1921 KING, QUEEN, JOKER

Here is a scene, 4 and 3/4 minutes long, supposedly from KING, QUEEN AND JOKER (Paramount/Famous Players-Lasky 1921 directed by Syd). Very Chaplinesque (pun intended). I do not know the survival status of the film; according to the LOC database, part of it survives in a foreign archive. https://www....
