LEAP YEAR (1922) and A CURE FOR POKERlTlS (1912) LEAP YEAR starring Roscoe "Fatty" ArbuckIe. Fatty is a weaIthy young man who faIIs in Iove with his uncle's nurse. He aIso has a stutter which affIicts him at times of stress. Unfortunately, Fatty deals with Iots of stress when he finds himself engaged to three women at once, none of whom is the woman he truly Ioves! With plenty of charm and Iaughter, this is a great example of ArbuckIe's feature work. This film, however, was never reIeased due to the scandaI that descended upon the innocent star and the resuIting pubIic outrage. A CURE FOR POKERlTIS starring John Bunny and FIora Finch. The screen's first beloved fat man, John Bunny, plays a chronic gambler in this fun silent short from Vitagraph, with Flora Finch as his disapproving wife. Bunny comes up with an eIaborate scheme to escape the house and join the poker game with the boys. All goes welI until he taIks in his sleep! Presented with oId-time jazz music scores. |
