"The Broncho Billy dramas ... are reported to be doing an unprecedented business. Already there has been a call for more prints."
The Snakeville Comedies mentioned above were produced at the same time and in the same locations, often around Niles, California. They starred Augustus Carney as Alkali Ike, Harry Todd as Mustang Pete and Margaret Joslin as Sophie Clutts.
