Slapstick Summer Series: Vaudevillians | Robetta and Doretto, No. 2 (1895)
Short recording of 1890s vaudeville slapstick act, "Robetta and Doretto", performing one of their routines (Chinese Laundry Scene). It's funny that even in these plot-less few seconds we glimpse elements familiar from the earliest slapstick movies.
