CANCELLED "These are rarities indeed, early one-reel comedies made in Philadelphia by the Lubin Company, and starring Oliver Hardy. Apart from the novelty of the setting, these comedies have surprising warmth and sophistication, and Hardy reveals himself to be a more appealing solo comedian than was Fatty Arbuckle at that particular time, limited as he was by the vulgarities and frenetic slapstick of the early Mack Sennett formula."
