Suds with My Suds, 1916


Entitled: "The Mishaps of Musty Suffer, bathtub of beer" shows man in bathtub holding glass of beer; six large barrels labeled "Beer" are stacked next to him. Harry B. Watson, Jr. (June 12, 1876 - October 1, 1965) was an American actor and comedian. Before his Vaudeville and Broadway stage career and making his films, he was a clown for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Among his Broadway shows were the George Gershwin musical Tip-Toes and five editions of the Ziegfeld Follies. The most high profile of his few feature films was the Marion Davies vehicle Zander the Great, but he is perhaps best recalled as the star of a series of bizarre silent comedy shorts, The Mishaps of Musty Suffer. Two volumes of surviving Musty Suffer titles were restored by the American Library of Congress and released with music by Ben Model on DVD by Undercrank Productions in 2014 and 2015. Photographed by George Kleine, 1916.
