LUKE'S MOVIE MUDDLE (1916) is one of the few surviving "Lonesome Luke" shorts of the great comedian Harold Lloyd.
Most were destroyed in a fire in his archive in a nitrate fire.
MOVIE MUDDLE begins showing Luke as the owner of a movie theater that shows Pathé (the company that produced this short) films. He does everything-- gives tickets, takes tickets, shows people to their seats. His only partners are the piano player and the bumbling projectionist, played by the great Snub Pollard.
When a girl enters (Bebe Daniels), Luke's flirting gets the best of him. The film gets jammed, and via a smoking (literally) patron, the audience rushes out thinking there's a fire.
As far as comedy goes, this is much more refined, and unlike the stylings of Mack Sennett, creates a situation and THEN mayhem, not vice versa.
The print quality that I saw was fairly good, but not great. Obviously from a lesser source, but not a strain to watch.
Harold Lloyd fans will find this satisfying as a curiosity piece and an idea as to what Lonesome Luke was like (contrary to popular belief, the character was nothing like Chaplin's Tramp). To the slapstick fans, a funny short awaits.
7/10 for good effort and satisfying results.
