His New Job (1915)

Synopsis: A man applies for a job in a movie and ends up as a stand-in for the star. Appraisal: This is my third fourth viewing of this film (I think see below). It's also the first time that I see it in its correct length. The previous copies were either missing pieces or with a faster frame rate. It is one of the good short films of the leading actor/writer/director. One of its characteristics is the intelligent use of several contiguous spaces to drive the plot and the slapstick.

Addendum on October 3, 2021 -- my previous viewings were on July 7, 2002; December 8, 2002; January 27, 2006.
