The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit
Andre Deed gets into his brand new white suit and goes out strolling .... and of course, runs into a constant flow of people and things to blacken his new clothes. It was a bit of a standard comic short in this period. My favorite of this odd sub-genre is Marcel Perez in TWEEDLEDUM'S WHITE SUIT (1911), for its catalogue of comic falls.
Deed is quite good in this earlier short, where the indignity done to his fashion-plate ideas is enough for 1906. He would go onto a fairly long career with more than 200 comic shorts, first as Cretinetti, and later as Boireau. He would continue to appear in shorts as late as 1932, and a total of 13 appearances in features through 1938.
One of the mysteries of these shorts is that these men in white suits would always wear black shoes. Didn't they know that was a faux pas?
