Yep, an unlikely comedy team indeed, here's the full clip from the 1920 installment of SCREEN SNAPSHOTS featuring Arbuckle, Murray and Hayakawa that you get a glimpse of in the later SNAPSHOTS compilation, MEMORIES OF THE GREAT COMEDIANS:

A priceless scene. Sessue Hayakawa somehow appears apprehensive at the notion of accidentally being body-slammed by Roscoe.

Besides Hayakawa, was there any dramatic star who could lay claim to appearing with two of Paramount's biggest comedy attractions from two different eras - in Sessue's case, Roscoe Arbuckle and Jerry Lewis.
"Of course he smiled -- just like you and me." -- Harold Goodwin, on Buster Keaton (1976)
