Edward Everett Horton, King Of The Wild West
In this two-reel comedy, Edward Everett Horton is the pampered scion of a family, raised by a couple of prissy aunts. He does card tricks. Through various machinations, he winds up running a saloon out west, where he charms one of the two tough guys in town by taking away his tie and fixing a bow tie to him; the other, Jack Curtis, he bests at poker "for keeps!" and wins the heart of local good girl Violet Bird.
It's one of the shorts that Harold Lloyd produced for Paramount starring Horton in this period. It was a way of keeping his staff busy and paid while he worked on his features. They all had a professional sheen and good gags. This ne is particularly funny, because of the gags about card tricks, and some very good comedy titles.
