Max Plays a Bad Actor
Max did this gag movie with Bosetti and Nunguet, in which he plays Augustus, a typical character in one of their slapstick comedies, who realizes he looks like Max Linder and goes out to make trouble -- a typically pointless plot for their bone-breaking slapsticks which were in decline in the face of the relatively sophisticated works of Mack Sennett -- yes, Mack Sennett was sophisticated compared to the usual European slapstick, although not a patch on Linder's usual work.
Max plays it like one of their comics, big, stage-bound gestures and frequent gestures towards the audience.
As entertainment it's not much. Its prime purpose is its metafictional statement that it's all make-believe.
