Birdman Kellogg's larynx has long been a source of entertainment to the public and of revenue to him. He has been on and off the vaudeville stage for 15 years. His flame experiment was the result of thousands of "fan" letters he received after a radio lecture last month. He can "sing" a note so high that it is inaudible to the human ear.

Tramp, Tramp, Tramp (Harry Langdon). Frantic farce cannot be estimated in detail. Such a critique would simply be a catalogue of gags. Tramp, Tramp, Tramp is such a catalogue. It is one of those pictures in which a man gets into bed with an electric fan and emerges in a storm of feathers. There is a plot about a cross-country race to advertise a shoe store. Mr. Langdon is often funny. The picture is often funny...
