Sold at Auction
This Hal Roach comedy short I found on the American Slapstick DVD collection of rare silent comedies starts bizarre and has an anything goesquality one rarely sees in Mr Roachs output It stars Snub Pollard who is initially introduced as a baby left on a doorstep before we see him fully grown about 20 or so years later still in that basket From there he gets bumped car to car crossing the street prior to getting literally thrown through a window as an auction is taking place Also appearing is James Finlayson as a man whos items accidentally get sold
