Regarding Mr. Summerville:
Is it okay to call him Slim?


Well, Arbuckle didn't mind being called Slim, so maybe its okay.

I think he may have been more okay with the "Slim" than the "Summerville"--even after adopting that spelling you still occasionally see him ID'ed by his real last name "Slim Somerville" into the 1920's.
