    (This review appears on letterboxd.com) Sweet short fun, brought to us by Ben Model's Silent Comedy Watch Party archives on YouTube. This is the first short in episode 1. Alice Howell is a delight. She has a comedic way of moving and holding herself that makes me smile the whole time she's onscreen. I'll be watching for her now. I had about four real laughs, which for a one-reel short is good with me.

How to Murder Your Wife

Stanley Ford leads an idyllic bachelor life. He is a nationally syndicated cartoonist whose Bash Brannigan series provides him with a luxury townhouse and a full-time valet, Charles. When he wakes up the morning after the night before - he had attended a friend's stag party - he finds that he is married to the very beautiful woman who popped out of the cake - and who doesn't speak a word of English. Despite his initial protestations, he comes to like married life and even changes his cartoon character from a super spy to a somewhat harried husband.
