This movie stars Johnny Arthur (a silent screen comedian very few would remember today) but the real star involved with this picture is the director, Fatty Arbuckle--though he is credited as "William Goodrich" due to the rape/manslaughter scandal that ruined Fatty's career.
This is a cute film about a guy who loves a woman who is hopelessly infatuated with movie stars. He wants to get her attention, but she's always reading about her favorite male stars, getting autographs from them by mail and longs to meet them. So, to get her to notice, he decides to dress up and act like her latest infatuation. The problem is that he goes to a lot of trouble to look like the latest interest, but they change so quickly he invariably arrives dressed like the old infatuation when she's off to a new one. He imitates some Rudolph Valentino-type star (whose name escapes me right now), Douglas Fairbanks as Robin Hood (complete with AMAZING leaping ability) and finally, Harold Lloyd! But, eventually, she tells him that her favorite character he can do is HIMSELF! And, it all ends happily ever after.
A very creative and sweet comedy short.
