Silent film compilation 1900s-1920s
-Year: 1961

-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy ~5, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: A very young boy in probably blue bibs. Backside simple suspenders only. Scene at 56 minutes. I think I've seen kids in sailor suits at 1h 13 minutes (very briefly).

The movie is at least a compilation of 13 different movies including short films and full feature films. Starring Laurel, Hardy, Charles Chaplin, Ben Turpin, Douglas Fairbanks, Houdini, Peal White (large collar), Snub Pollard, Boris Karloff and others. Complete details on tcm.com.

The first half is very funny but I don't like the second half. I have to check out for the name of the original movie and name of the boy. The original movie is set in 1922 and starring Snub Pollard. Maybe in "Blow 'Em Up".

Can be watched online at dasvierte.de (German title Jubel, Trubel, Sensationen).

Rating 2-3 for the few bibs scenes. I like classics. So the movie would be a higher rating. DVD release in 2010.
