Silent Comedy
Classics Collection

Volume 10
(1916-1925)

 

Contents: A Total Loss [Doctoring a Leak] (1916), Drink Hearty (1920), The Chef (1921), Golf (1922) and The Paper Hanger (1925).

The Paper Hanger is misidentified as released in 1920, being confused with a Billy Franey short — it is, in fact, the Al St. John Fox comedy short from 1925.
