Run 'Em Ragged

Directed by Alfred J. Goulding

With Harry 'Snub' Pollard, Hughie Mack, Marie Mosquini, Sunshine Sammy Morrison and William Gillespie

Run ’Em Ragged, Snub Pollard’s 39th starring vehicle, uses familiar slapstick-- Over-the-top make-up, ethnic humor, and a chase across Los Angeles’s Echo Park-- But there is more here than knockabout; Sophisticated sight gags test the limits of the characters’ perception, making expert use of such props as a seemingly bottomless rowboat.
