L & H in the Army

Pre-team Laurel and Hardy silent,with Stan as an effeminate private,being bullied by Sergeant Banner(Ollie)and General James Finlayson.There is virtually no plot,and a lot of the humour on show is of a surprisingly vulgar,broad nature,involving putrid garlic and swollen posteriors,amongst others.Again,the boys are cast as enemies rather than friends,though Ollie's behaviour towards Stan is slightly friendlier in the second reel.Bizarrely(and pointlessly),a poster of Cecil B.De Mille's film THE VOLGA BOATMAN(1926)is used for a gag later in the film.They weren't a team yet,but would be in several films'time when they would be shoulder-to-shoulder buddies.

Trivia
An early pre teaming of Stan and Ollie in which they share alot of screen time with Ollie being a bully and Stan an effete simpleton. Originally there was a gag in which James Finlayson walks up and down the aisle of a sleeping car full, of soldiers whose stocking feet causes him to faint. Another gag had Stan pacing up and down in front of an out house finally he pounds on a door which is opened by a quarter master revealing it to be a store room and Stan wants to return a mop and bucket. Both sequences were cut.
