The Show is a 1922 American silent short comedy film directed by Larry Semon and Norman Taurog and featuring Oliver Hardy. [1]
As described in a film magazine, [2] Larry Semon is a stage hand and is also part of the audience, which keeps one guessing regarding the dual capacity. He steals a bouquet of flowers meant for the star and gives them to a member of the chorus, not knowing that a cat has knocked over a bottle of ink on them. He then turns on the wind machine at the wrong time, filling the stage and playhouse with black powder. He attempts to save the star's jewels but is knocked senseless, and dreams of a wild ride to recover them. Then he wakes up.
