TIRE - Hal Roach, 1920.
This is one of the series of comedies that Sid Smith and Paul Parrott

brother, became best known for directing several of Laurel and Hardy's
comedies in the late 1920s and early 1930. Here, looking just like his
older brother, he teams with Smith, one of the unsung geniuses of the

plays a chauffeur to Parrott who helps a vamp captivate his boss while
foiling a bank robbery. 200', Near Mint in the OB - $39

comedy, that we'd later see the Three Stooges use, the two decide on
a game of pool to settle the score. We get an amusing display of
early special effects that is used to manipulate the pool balls in a
humorous fashion. And speaking of humorous fashion, Fields has a
very bizarre mustache. Great quality print in Near Mint condition,
