Richard Jones & Leo McCarey silent mistaken identity cosmetic surgery romantic marital comedy short ("The first time a girl looked at him without laughing... he was thrilled"; produced by Hal Roach; about a man with a huge overbite who is married to a woman with a huge nose, and by an amazing coincidence, they both get corrective surgery on the very same day, and then they meet each other afterwards, and amazingly, neither recognizes the other and each decides to "cheat" on their spouse with each other!; when Mr. Moose realizes she is actually his wife, he decides to "pay her back" for her "infidelity", conveniently ignoring that he is just as guilty!) starring Charley Chase (in the title role as Charley Moose; primarily remembered as a great silent comedian who appeared in 276 movies, most of them comedy shorts, Chase also directed 140 comedy shorts), Vivian Oakland (in the title role as Vivian Moose), Malcolm Denny, Ann Howe, and Charles Clary. Note that this movie is available to be seen on DVD, and viewers agree that it is one of the finest silent comedies (not surprising, given that it was one of the many comedy shorts directed by Leo McCarey, who went on to a long and distinguished career in sound movies, and that it starred Charley Chase, one of the great silent comedians, who is sadly forgotten today, except by film buffs).
