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 West move from King-Bee to Bull's Eye.
Note that the bill at the Kozy Theater in Chickasha, Oklahoma is interesting. "The Stagecoach Driver and the Girl," was a rerelease of a one-reeler that Tom Mix made for the Selig Polyscope Company in 1915. There is also a chapter of "The Master Mystery," a serial starring Harry Houdini. "Its Weird; It Thrills; Its different." Those "Its" should have apostrophes.

"Her First False Hair" is an interesting title.

"Coppers and Scents"? That is pushing it.
