An amusing silent short made for a party to celebrate the release of Chaplin's The Gold Rush at Mary Pickford's house in 1925. I won't give away the clever Méliès-style trick to this film, but it does have appearances by silent greats Keaton, Lloyd, Arbuckle, Valentino, Fairbanks and Coogan.
Interestingly, the intertitles all feature speech balloons laid out to mimic the framing of the live action on the screen.
