Ben Blue in "One Big Night," 1930 - sample

Ben Blue was an early film comedian, though not as popular as Charlie Chaplin, or Laurel and Hardy. This film from 1930 is full of pratfalls, slapstick, plus music and dance. Ebay: Item number: 110385535928

Originally released by Paramount in February 1931, at the time Ben was signed to a contract to appear in shorts and feature films. Almost forgotten today, Ben was a tall comedian that did a "trick dance act" in vaudeville (he'd "stumble" in his steps, but he was actually a very limber dancer).

As a big fan of 'The Taxi Boys', I am also a big fan of Ben Blue.
I don't suppose anyone has any of his short films to post? I would dearly love to see one.
