The Bell Boy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bell Boy is a a short film produced and released in 1918 by the Comique film company.
The film stars Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle as Bellboys in Elk's Head Hotel. They cause trouble with each other and guests. The elevator is powered by a stubborn horse. A sham robbery turns into a real one. And there is a chase on a runaway trolley. Much of the material in this film was later re-used by Keaton in his 1937 film "Love Nest On Wheels". One sequence involving a mop was reused by Keaton in his last film appearance, in The Scribe.
