Beautiful Girls in Billy West Film -- April 19, 2019

Moving Picture World, 12-April-1919
Billy West closely imitated Charlie Chaplin in a long series of comedies for different studios. While Chaplin was making the excellent Mutual comedies, West was making imitations of Chaplin's Essanay comedies. We saw him move from King-Bee to Bull's Eye.

His next film for Bull's Eye would be "Flirts."  "The studio at Hollywood is said to have been besieged by beautiful girls when it was announced that this type was desired in large quantities.

Moving Picture News, 19-April-1919
"...fully two thousand young women and girls showed up at our Hollywood studio one morning."  Could be an exaggeration.
