He may just have been wall-eyed. But Ed, I'm interested in what you thought of it? Even considering that Masquers' shorts had to cram in as many out-of-work comics as possible, to my eyes its prime pre-Code W&W.

Joseph Blough has been posting some great and RARE stuff over the last couple years!
Ed! I tried to post an article from January 5, 1918 titled: TOM WILSON LOSES EYE IN ACCIDENT
But will have to give you some of the text instead. In part:
(Wilson) "met with an accident while hunting with friends last week, in which a shot penetrated his eyeball and made necessary an operation in which the eye was removed... Wilson was recently loaned by the Lehrman company to go with the Mary Pickford company to appear in one subject, and it was while working at the Pickford film that he was injured."
That film was possibly 'Amarilly of Clothes-Line Alley"
