Wallace Beery, in drag as Sweedie the Swedish Maid, on top of the driver.







Steve Massa identified Leo White in the center and Charlotte Mineau on the right.

Thanks to George Willeman of the Library of Congress for providing the scans.

I think Mineau is actually the woman on the left.

My bad. You are correct.

Did they find the film in whole or part, or just a few frames?
And is Ben Turpin in the extant footage? Don't think I have this title in Ben's filmography.
It's great that another Sweedie comedy surfaced; there are too few of them around.
