The Hobo is a 1917 comedy short film featuring Billy West. Directed by King Bee Studios, this film showcases the antics of a hobo causing chaos at a train station.
'The Hobo' occupies an interesting niche within silent film comedy, especially given its age and the often-overlooked genre of early slapstick. Copies are getting scarce, likely due to the film's age and the fragility of silent film reels. Collectors tend to seek out this title for its unique representation of early American humor, even if the director remains unknown. Itβs one of those titles that adds character to a collection, illustrating the whimsical storytelling that defined the silent film era.
β High value may reflect a sealed, signed, or rare variant copy.
