    Is Half Of Two One?

    There's only most of the second reel of this 1923 Fox comedy that survives. The Foxes were the most expensively produced shorts of the silent era, and had terrible survivable rates; likewise Harry Sweet shorts. This is the only one I've seen. A couple of years later, he would largely disappear behind the camera, and with the coming of sound he wound up in charge of RKO's shorts department. He would die in a plane crash in 1933, only 31 years old.

    It's certainly a sharply executed comedy, with Sweet in two roles, a beautiful lady genie, Bud Jamison as a hotel detective, and a lobby at the bottom of an atrium. Everyone keeps falling onto people in the lobby.

    It would be interesting to see the complete film, but I fear that, like many silent movies, it survives only in truncates form. That part is very good indeed.
