You may be correct on this point, however I still don't think the still is from BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS (1916), because as Rob pointed out both Pokes and Jabbs are clearly entertainers in this, and they are not so described in the plot synopsis for that film.

Just figured out today at work that we have print of this Pokes and Jabs comedy. Couple of troubling things though.... title lists it as a Jaxon but starring "Bobby Burns" with no mention of Walter Stull at all, also this film is a TWO reeler! Far as I can tell P&J only made one two reeler, so this may be it. Internal evidence shows that the film was made at the Garrick Studios in Jacksonville... and may very well have been the last thing they made in JAX.
