Next Aisle Over is a 1919 American short comedy film starring Harold Lloyd. (en.wikipedia.org)

Many of the scenes in "On the Fire" seem to be direct copies from Arbuckle's earlier "Waiter's Ball." Such similarities as trying to kill a fish with a gun hopping around out of water, the tossing of the food to the waiters, and several other scenes seem to be carbons of Arbuckle's film. (imdb)

The film begins with a girl who is supposedly irresistible to all men. Several guys all come to her to pledge their undying love--including Harold Lloyd's brother, Gaylord.

This Hal Roach comedy short I found on the "American Slapstick" DVD collection of rare silent comedies starts bizarre and has an anything goes-quality one rarely sees in Mr. Roach's output. It stars Snub Pollard who is initially introduced as a baby left on a doorstep before we see him fully grown about 20 or so years later still in that basket! From there, he gets bumped car to car crossing the street prior to getting literally thrown through a window as an auction is taking place! (imdb)

Count Your Change is a 1919 short comedy film featuring Harold Lloyd.

Chop Suey & Co. is a 1919 short comedy film featuring Harold Lloyd.

Hal Roach short is a spoof of the 1923 Western COVERED WAGON, which was a huge hit for Paramount. In this film a group of people are heading out West to Hollywood so they pack up their "wagons" and head out where they must battle various elements including crossing a dangerous river and battling Indians. The "wagons" are actually cars with a cover on them and the Indians even ride in on bicycles so you can tell the type of humor that Roach is going for.

A prosecutor instructs the audience of a courtroom to observe the tearful and slightly hysterical wife (Helen Gilmore) who is sitting in the witness box, and claims she is this way due to her husband, who shows up very infrequently. For the defence (James Finlayson), he never did anything to be proud of - and was proud of it. He sits there smirking and sipping a glass of water before being momentarily distracted.

The owners of a movie studio are having problems with a temperamental director, and they promise an actor on one of his pictures that he can have the job if he can find a way to make the director leave the picture. (imdb)

Run 'Em Ragged, Snub Pollard's 39th starring vehicle, uses familiar Mack Sennett slapstick--over-the-top make-up, ethnic humor, and a Keystone Cops-style chase across Los Angeles's Echo Park. But there is more here than knockabout. Sophisticated sight gags test the limits of the characters' perception, making expert use of such props as a seemingly bottomless rowboat.

A group of oil magnates are trying to think of new ways to attract business. One of them suggests that they contact the inventor Pollard, who has devised a new gasoline substitute. Pollard himself lives in a home filled with his eccentric inventions. When he gets the message from the oil company, he is excited about the opportunity to demonstrate his innovation. (imdb)

Paul Parrott comedy produced by Hal Roach.

Boland plays a slipshod plumber on roller skates who, trying to fix some pipes, blows himself into a fantasy world where he is mistaken for a prince and everything is named after food items.

In this 1922 Pathe-distributed, Hal Roach silent-era comedy, the owner of a local streetcar business is in danger of losing his franchise, but the streetcar operator (played by Paul Parrott) and his girl friend (who happens to be the boss's daughter; portrayed by Jobyna Ralston) try to save the day.

While his wife is shopping, Snub attempts to take a fifteen minute break. (imdb)

Paul (James Parrott) is practicing the art of being a cowboy. He consults a book before firing his gun, climbing onto a saddle on top of a chair and then falling off and dressing his wounds. He then gets back on his 'saddle' and fires his gun again, this time in the direction of another man (whom I believe to be Wallace Howe) who has just entered the room. Paul leaves abruptly and rides into town on a horse, and straight through a crowded saloon.

'Snub' Pollard in a lot of wedding problems.

Snub is an street sweeper with OCD, living in a neighborhood full of fussy people. He is sweeping the street when he anticipates a cop who is about to throw some litter into the road and dashes over to catch it in his cart. He then tries to save a drunken man from falling into the road before stopping his cart to pick up a solitary leaf which has dared to fallen upon the ground.

Courtroom comedy with Eddie Boland as Judge.

'Snub' Pollard is an local actor getting a big break in the movie industry, coming home to show off his fame.

At the Second Annual Athletic Meet, "The Fat Men's Race" is open to anybody ~ under a ton and a half... The entries are 'Hippo' (Loback) and 'Rhino' (Parrott) who get on the scales to be weighed. Rhino is assisted by extra padding and a third leg supplied by Wallace Howe on the scales in an attempt to boost his weight. The judge spots his attempts to cheat and orders Rhino to carry extra weight in order to qualify for the race so he is stuffed with filled sacks.

James Parrott as a very persistent book salesman.

Marie's inebriated husband refuses to go to bed, so she asks Snub, a homeless man she finds sleeping in the park, to assist.

Paul and Jobyna are newlyweds and Paul's father-in-law rents them a house. During a storm some nearby campers are wrecked and wrapping their tent about them they seek shelter in the nearest house which belongs to the newlyweds. The white-draped figures are taken for "spooks" creating an opportunity for the usual gags. (The Film Daily, 1922)
