The Bell Boy

Ladder chaos in a hotel lobby.

What

A 1918 American one-sheet for The Bell Boy, a two-reel silent comedy from the Comique company, released through Paramount and measuring 28 by 41 inches.

Why

Roscoe Arbuckle directed it for Comique, and the Commons record lists Buster Keaton and Alice Lake with it.

Notice

"PARAMOUNT-ARBUCKLE COMEDIES" runs across the top banner between two Paramount marks, and the door at centre is lettered "ELEVATOR".
