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.

Bulls Eye (no apostrophe in this title) sold comedies with Billy West and Gale Henry on a states rights basis.

"Coppers and Scents"? That is pushing it.

Executives from the offices in New York and the studio in Hollywood decided to split the difference and meet in Chicago.

Bulls Eye comedies with Billy West were selling well.
