Misleading Pseudo-Comedy
28 February 2020
Though Harry Langdon is teamed with Elsie Ames in this short, this one seems to be an unsold pilot for a new series of two-reelers featuring Ames and Dorothy Appleby. The two had already appeared together in shorts previously, but their own style of physical comedy does do the short justice. Elsie and Dorothy are employees of a laundry service who are enrolling into a company bowling tournament against another business and are warned by their fussy boss (Lorin Raker) not to lose. A subplot involves their detective boyfriends (Langdon and Monte Collins) trying to locate a mad bomber in the city. Sadly, the two aren't given much to do as this short is mostly a showcase for the girls.
