Thanks for posting this. Clyde Cook came from Port Macquarie in New South Wales, Australia, so even in the days of "silent" movies, Australians were making a name for themselves in Hollywood.
I was looking at old newspapers at a local library on microfilm from about 1918 and in the entertainment section of course I saw chaplin but I saw Clyde Cook being shown so I'm guessing he was more famous then we think now.
Cook starred in lots of comedy shorts throughout the silent era, and played supporting roles in late 1920s features like von Sternberg's "Docks of New York".
Haven't seen the Talmadge/Ford film, but have seen Roberts in an Arbuckle-directed Poodles Hanneford comedy NO LOAFING (1923); only one reel of this survives. Glad you enjoyed THE MISFIT!
I just loved it. I like seeing Big Joe in other movies besides Buster's. Have you seen him in The Primitive Lover made in 1922 starring Constance Talmadge and the silent actor Harrison Ford? He was so good in it. Thank you so much for posting this.
Glad that this was preserved! Even only this one reel! Perhaps one day the whole film will be found like quite a few are these days.
The sidewalk elevator gag is genius! Thanks for posting this Ben!

Big Joe Roberts', the heavy in so many Buster Keaton classic, last screen appearance - glad this still exists, truncated though it is
He passed far too soon! I especially like the ones where Buster and Joe were roommates. 😁

That was excellent! Clyde and Blanche make a lovely couple! Thanks for posting!
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed this one!

I have an idea, you could find the graves of some of the stars of these films.
"After she jumped off her horse, she went home and jumped on her husband..." OwO
Yep, same guy! He directed shorts at Educational in the mid-twenties.
Albert Austin a supporting player for Chaplin?
A little tidbit of worthless information.. They are drilling 1898 30-40 Krag- Jorgensen rifles.
