If you’ve ever taken a class with me, you know I’m fond of physical comedy involving chairs, tables, doors, stairs, etc., so you can imagine how happy I was to see this comedy chair piece featuring eccentric dancer George Campo. The clip is from a 1932 film, which Pathé lists as La Boite a Matalots, which I take to be a triple misspelling of La Boîte à Matelots (“Sailor’s Club”). I don’t know anything about Campo, but he does appear (if it’s the same performer) as a lead actor in the 1938 film Murder with Reservations and — 35 years after this clip! — doing a “vaudeville style act” on the Ed Sullivan Show (season 20, episode 25; Feb. 26, 1967).
