Silent Comedy Classics Collection, Volume 8

HOW FATTY MADE GOOD (1913): No, this isn't a Keystone comedy with Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle, but a Vitagraph short starring Hughie Mack, who the rival studio also dubbed 'Fatty' in a brazen attempt to fool audiences. This 'Fatty' wins the hand of his petite lady love by learning boxing and pummeling all her other suitors into submission.

COLORED VILLAINY (1915): This racially insensitive film features an all-white cast in blackface, including future Roach star Charley Chase. He plays a thief who tries to steal a young couple's savings, only to be foiled when the money in their strongbox is replaced with live bees.

MIKE AND MEYER IN THE STORE (1915): Joe Weber and Lew Fields were vaudevillians who made several films for Mack Senett in 1915 and '16 as "Mike & Meyer." Here they are grocery store owners whose typical day is marred by a series of unfortunate incidents.

MIXED NUTS (1922): This Stan Laurel comedy was created by combining scenes from the otherwise-lost Nuts in May (1917) with outtakes from another short, The Pest (1922). As such, the film is pretty much incomprehensible, but the gist of it seems to be that Stanley is a mental patient who thinks he's Napoleon.
