Grief

1921 · 9 min

A quick, silly silent-era chase comedy that breezes by with slapstick energy and little to think about.

Overview
Begins with a child-cast parody of "The Kid." The Adams portion finds the guy chased about town because they are looking for some crook in a gray derby...and Jimmie happens to have one.
