Is "The Way Of All Pants" complete? I thought all that existed was the clip in THE FURTHER PERILS OF L&H. I've seen "Fluttering Hearts" which is probably still on youtube where I downloaded it from. If not on archive.org. It is very funny.
I've seen the clips from The Sting of Stings and Us in THE GOLDEN AGE OF COMEDY and 4 CLOWNS, respectively.
Call of the Cuckoo is very funny, but it is a Max Davidson short, and his parts are the best. I assume it is only clips because the whole short is on one of the new L&H collections. The "plot" is pretty much stolen from Buster Keaton's ONE WEEK.
Other than those, I'm not sure there are many people still alive who have seen the others (except those who workled on the set) -- so when the set is released we will find out which ones are the best!
That being said, late silent Chase at M-G-M is supposed to be the creme de la creme. I just wish his talkies were as consistently funny. There are many gems there but unfortunately it is roughly 50/50 to find an above average Chase talkie. With L&H it's like 90/10! (I won't get into the whole statistical thing with how they can't all be above average by the definition of average. Are we talking average for Chase, or all shorts at Roach, or shorts from anyone in that era?)
