Back Stage

The film follows Props, a stage manager at the Orpheum Theater in Plunkville, and his assistant as they juggle their responsibilities with drinking. As the new acts arrive, including the demanding Wiggle sisters and the strong man Babe with his wife Ethel, the situation quickly spirals out of control.

With a cast featuring Billy West, Oliver Hardy, and Ethel Marie Burton, Back Stage captures the essence of theater life in the early 20th century. The comedic mishaps, such as Props getting in the way of performers and his assistant's blunders, paint a vivid picture of the chaos behind a theatrical production. This film is a notable example of comedy from the silent era, appealing to collectors interested in early American cinema and theatrical history.
