Steve,
With the Dent stills, is it possible to show the 2nd one bigger? Maybe it's 1929's "The Marriage Playground"?

I like how Semon and his publicist play up the fact that 'quality shorts' are just as good as longer features.
They don't bother mentioning that Larry recently bombed out in his first feature and is forced to go back
to making shorts, but I have a feeling the public and exhibitors back then may had recalled the situation.
