Luke's Shattered Sleep

1916 · 13 min

A featherlight silent slapstick short that breezes by on frantic physical gags and a restless man's comic hunt for sleep.

Overview
Audiences may think Luke with his St. Vitus movement never sleeps, but they are dead wrong. Like Bill Shakespeare Luke "blesses the man who first invented sleep." After a screamingly comical search for slumber he finally hits the hay and sleeps without moving to Brooklyn.
