Chekhov's Swimming Pool

Earl Rodney is in charge of the Sanitarium Hotel temporarily, when he agrees to rent the place to a bevy of Sennett Bathing Beauties. Since the place is failing and needs repairs, there are plenty of short gags for Keystone's company to perform, lots of doors to slam as people run in and out, and of course a swimming pool for the girls to cavort in and the men to fall into. That's what swimming pools are for, isn't it?

It's all competently and mechanically performed without, alas, much flair. This is not Keystone A list, nor is there much of a story in evidence.
