Dog Factory (1904)
5 minutes
A 120 year old Edison Studio comedy, directed by the legendary Edwin Porter, was produced from a paper print. This wonderfully surreal short captures a theatrical vaudeville sketch popular at the time. This dog factory uses a Dog Transformator to satisfy various customers.
Haunted Spooks (1920)
25 minutes
Harold Lloyd, the Boy, has again been thwarted in love and he desires to leave this cruel world. That is the start of this short romantic comedy. Soon afterwards, he is married and off to the bride’s newly inherited haunted mansion. Gags, scares and Harold’s comic genius all rolled into one. Why, it even has a walking pants gag. Australian born Alf Goulding directs and fellow Australian, John M. O’Brien, plays a minor role.
The Goat (1921)
23 minutes
“A great Keaton short delivered with wit, imagination and hilarious physical comedy. It starts with Buster mistaken for Dead Shot Dan, an escaped outlaw. The series of misadventures is driven by the comic’s mastery of invention as he, the fugitive, eludes the police force and in so doing constructs skilfully thought-out gags. The finale has been described as a wonderful and shining moment where Buster in a battle of wits and physicality with an array of antagonists survives. This short is all smiles.”
Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde (1925)
22 minutes
Stan Laurel excels in this wonderful spoof of the famous story and early silent films depicting the twin hero/villain device. In Victorian London, the esteemed Dr. Pyckle (Stan) uses himself as a guinea pig when he experiments with a new drug that changes him into a compulsive prankster. Laurel’s long solo career in music hall and early cinema provided him with a comedic breadth and range fully on display here. And ready to shine with Oliver Hardy, Ollie, the next year. This clever rendition of the classic story is a marvellous short, now almost 100 years old.
