In the short comedy "The Hobo", Billy West does a reasonable imitation of Charlie Chaplin, using a character very obviously based on Chaplin's famous "Tramp". There must have been a good number of would-be imitators of Chaplin during the era, and West was probably among the best of them. His character is quite similar, and he mimics Chaplin's basic style fairly closely.
In this feature, West plays a vagrant hanging out in and around a train station, who gets into some escapades at the ticket office and lunch counter. West is not bad at this type of material, and there are some good moments, although it is clearly a copy of the real Chaplin. West seems to have been a decent comic in his own right, and could well have had some success with other material if he had not settled into a niche as a Chaplin imitator.
Oliver Hardy also appears here, and he gets the chance to provide a couple of amusing moments. The overall package is certainly watchable, and probably about average for the time and genre.
