Smith silent Hall Room Boys romantic comedy short ("Percy and Ferdie in ''Bridle-Grooms'") starring Sidney Smith, George Williams, and Bud Jamison. Note that this was one of a series of two-reel silent comedies based on H. A. MacGill's 1904 newspaper comic The Hall Room Boys, which followed the humorous adventures of Percy and Ferdie. Within a year of it's debut in the papers in 1904, the characters of Percy and Ferdie began turning up in vaudeville sketches and, a few years later, a first film version based on the strip was produced. In 1919, Bill Parsons obtained the film rights to the comic and made the first 10 or so Hall Room Boys comedies. When Parsons died, Jack and Harry Cohn took over the series, which would last until 1923, and there were many movies in the series, but with different actors playing the lead roles in almost all of the movies. Yes, that is the Jack & Harry Cohn who would found Columbia Pictures, and while these movies are not officially considered Columbia movies, they likely deserve to be!
