He fits in awkwardly with her hoity society world. News of his oil-well inheritance makes the more mercenary flappers pay attention, notably a vampish cousin (named Cleopatra, no less). It's a funny culture-clash showcase for slight, droopy-moustached comedian Pollard, an Australian vaudevillian who entered movies in 1915 and became a staple in two-reeler vehicles for himself and others (including Harold Lloyd). He remained a familiar face onscreen right up until his death in 1962, making one of his final cameo appearances in the Chubby Checker dance-craze flick TWIST AROUND THE CLOCK. - Dennis Harvey
