I didn't get to see much of this early episode of SCREEN SNAPSHOTS. What I saw was Roscoe Arbuckle, Charles Murray, and Sessue Hayakawa in a brief slapstick bit. That was about two and a half minutes, and done.
Screen Snapshots was an early production of Columbia Pictures before it became Columbia. Back then it was known as CBC for its three principals, Harry Cohn, his brother and their partner. One of the Poverty Row companies, when anyone of note mentioned it, it was "Corned Beef and Cabbage". But the idea of showing Hollywood types when they weren't in a feature was popular, Harry Cohn was smart and hard working, and by the time Cohn died, it was a major studio. Even if its roots were in Sessue Hayakawa in a three-act with Arbuckle and Murray.
