Yes, the lovely thing about these Eddie Lyons produced- Bobby Dunn Arrow comedies is that they won the prize hands down for the most generically titles short comedies ever made, on top of that, Arrow was an independent releaser not great about listing release schedules to the trades, so even figuring out how many there are is tricky, then add things like the imdb listing the COMEDY CAPERS reissue titles in their Dunn Filmography as original titles and you have plenty of confusion. They are good comedies, and it also seems that many have survived and have come down to us in COMEDY CAPERS and FUNNY MANNS editions so a Bobby Dunn Fan has lots to see.

I have a different 4-minute excerpt from Unidentified #1 on an Atlas Films "Kiddie Movie" titled OH, YOU NURSE. Right now it's at the LoC for (hopefully) the Show-and-Tell portion of MOSTLY LOST III.

Put a comedian in a construction site and comedy galore develops.

Steve Massa mentioned the same title as a possibility. "Unidentified 1b" has some footage that is in my excerpt, but mine includes intertitles, as well as showing the label on the bottle that Dunn spoons out for the effeminate character ("Strongo: Makes Weak Men Strong"). Putting all these together, we might actually wind up with a coherent reel.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks Michael.
Just have to get it back from the LoC!
