When Ambrose Dared Walrus1915
Hefty Ambrose (Mack Swain) is an unlikely acrobat who checks into the Walrus Hotel with his petite trapeze-artist wife. Proprietors Mr. and Mrs. Walrus, whose marital union is no more harmonious than their guests', suffer several embarrassing encounters with the newcomers. Tempers flare; a pistol is drawn. This is really, really not going to turn out to be a good day for the hotel's fire insurance to lapse. Writer/director Walter Wright's two-reeler for Mack Sennett was one of about a dozen Keystone comedies pairing Swain and Conklin as the titular characters... or, rather, pitting them against each other!

The dive from the second floor into the women's bath... and my kids and I are still trying to figure out the hula hoop trick.
