THE BELL BOY is excerpted from the DVDs ARBUCKLE & KEATON Parts One Two. This DVD set presents 10 of the Silent Era's best short comedies.

The resulting short films, captured on this DVD set, show Keaton emerge at the beginning of his career as one of the most creative and original artists the world of film has ever known.These two DVDs, produced by Kino International, can be ordered from Alloy Orchestra's website:alloyorchestra.com
