NOTES |
B&W, Silent
Yehuda Koren & Eilat Negev sent me these details:
Opening title introduces "Kruger and Ward, the tall and short of it."
The camera iris opens on a stage with a painted backdrop of a canyon
and waterfall. Two clowns walk across the stage: a dwarf with a fake
bald pate dressed in evening clothes and a top hat, and a tall, thin
clown dressed as a woman. The dwarf follows the "woman" with a
handkerchief, trying to get her attention, as the woman circles and
appears to be looking for something on the ground. She finally notices
her little suitor, but responds by kicking him down and then giggling.
Undaunted, the dwarf gets back up, motions to the tall woman to bend
down, and whispers in her ear. She giggles again and the two flirt.
