While many of these shorts are in tough shape, it is good to see vintage Chaplin from Keystone and Sennett and many of the shorts are hilarious. The only down side is the scoring, which is repetitive and the kind of rinky-tinky nickelodeon type of piano music one expects with very early shorts. However, this doesn't detract immensely from watching a genius in action. For the price this set is worth the watch. Thoroughly enjoyable.
