Unseen by the public for decades, these classic comedy shorts from the silent era underwent an "accidental preservation" in the 1930s and ‘40s when companies like Kodascope and Universal Show-at-Home transferred the original, fragile 35mm nitrate prints to a more durable 16mm safety film, or in some cases were released to the European market on 9.5mm stock. Each short includes a new musical score by film historian Ben Model.

Includes "Why Wild Men Go Wild" (1920), with Bobby Vernon; the Chaplin cartoon "Charley on the Farm" (1919); "Sherlock’s Home" (1924); "The Little Pest" (1927); "Papa’s Boy" (1927); "Big Boy"; "Helter Skelter"; "Cook, Papa, Cook" (1928); a safety film "How Jimmy Won the Game" (1928); and an animated "Christmas Seals Film" (1925). 102 min. total.
