A nameless one on Nutrateville postulates that perhaps none of Music Hall and Karno Comedian Billie Reeves films survive. I have three of them, all released by Blackhawk, A DAY ON THE FORCE, HIS WIFE'S NEW LID(both 1915), and A READY-MADE MAID (1916)
and here's that 1930 short Reeves made:

I've got A Day on the Force, but my 16mm print is not from Blackhawk as it has a music score (which Blackhawk didn't offer). It's quite funny. I screened it at one of our Dallas-area movie group showings a few months ago and it went over pretty big.
