THE WAITERS' BALL (1916) (reconstruction) - Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle

So I was inspired to do this by Steve Massa's wonderful Arbuckle book.
It's always been one of my fave films, but I was always troubled by the cutdown version that was in circulation and known by most. This version, utilised from three different prints, contains more title cards, more footage and seems to make much more sense too.
Thank you Roscoe for a great film!
(and thanks to Ethan Uslan as well, for letting me use his marvellous music, taken from his fab 'Carolina Moon' album).

I’m having Arbuckle’s films marathon after reading that book! Thank you for posting, this is everything! I love that fish gag!

[@DaveGlass]

Thanks Elena. Yep, the fish gag is great... but watch out for that broom!

Wow, that makes a huge difference.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Brilliant reconstruction/restoration! Thank you!

[@DaveGlass]

Thank YOU for watching :)

Wonderful! Thanks for all your work Dave! Fatty knew the importance of talented supporting cast. Al St. John is marvelous -- as well as the other secondary characters. ...Rowby. P.S. I just bought Steve Massa's book on Amazon -- thanks for mentioning it.

[@DaveGlass]

Thank YOU ... and you'll love the book. It's big too!

This was fun. Thanks for sharing!

Very good! I assumed the shorter version was the entire one, but you learn something new every day.

Great job on the short. Looking forward to the Lupino Lane set.

Thanks WP!

Did ARBUCKLE ever juggle on film, or on stage . He was probably great.
