Not Very Sharp

Razor-blade salesman Tom Dugan takes best girl Pert Kelton to a party thrown by his employer. Although Miss Kelton charms the boss's son, Frank Eastman, Dugan's low ways get him in trouble.

This rare Sennett short is a slow-moving affair, and very tame if you're expecting something from the old days at Keystone. Movie comedy had moved on, Sennett had moved on, and the results are rather dull, although Miss Kelton is surprisingly cute (I almost wrote 'pert' there) and subdued for anyone who knows her from her other screen appearances. Dugan attempts subtlety in his performance, which is a mistake for a comedy.
