Pool Sharks

I couldn't help think this was just a bad Three Stooges short, except this preceded that act by over a decade. If you're not a fan of nose-slapping and eye-poking, then the only redeeming interest of this movie is its early stop-motion animation, which is cute but not outright funny.

The short is pretty rough with some bad editing and continuity. But the whole thing is dumb fun and I chuckle a few times.

impressively violent. i will never cease to fail to be amused by silent slapstick. terrible stop motion.

Fairly nice and fresh slapstick for 1915, plus some OK stop motion (though you see the animator's hand in one frame).

Hey! W.C. was an asshole right off the bat!

It's short, the comedy is ok and the trick shots that are the highlight of the film are pretty good.
