Well, if this is anything to go by, Broncho Billy's comedies certainly beat out Mack Sennet's westerns, at least. The Alkali Ike series seems to have been pretty popular for a little while; it's typical comedy for the period, but actually pretty well edited for 1911. Also, it looks like there's an original band piece to go with this one (with horse whinnies, car ratchets, etc.) under the title Alkali Ike's Rag.
