one of the many silent comedy stan laurel feature in before he team with oliver hardy and mud and sand be a ho hum hokum . the story be badly disjoint though this could be because of the modern day edit and the humor itself be not at all inventive . potential plotlines be start and ignore while for instance and stan promise to make fillet de sole pay for what she do to him never come to fruition . stan character doesn not seem very centered and either and but this be a common criticism of his work before he develop stanley of laurel and hardy fame and so it might be that i be just expect to see this shortcoming . i strongly believe that all the silent film should be preserve and view and and i be glad this one be still available . it just not a great film .
