Featured review
This Is Where The Cartoons Got Their Gags
Harry Gribbon is the director of a movie serial. THrough the usual combination of sight gags and Madeline Hurlock's yen, Ben turpin becomes the the object of her desires and the stunt man; I suppose he was cross-eyed, but she was blind.
It's the usual highly competent mix of gags that you got from Sennett, making fun of the motion picture industry. I particularly like the one in which Turpin is about to be run over by a trolley car. Director Del Henderson could construct them and shoot them.
Of course, I seem to be alone in disliking Turpin as a screen comic. True, his cross-eyed dope, after entering the movies about 1908, was finally popular, and he seems to have been a nice guy in his private life. It's simply that his character feels me with a sense of dread rather than laughter.
