The Dippy Dentist (1920)

A bright and breezy little comedy short. Fifi (Marie Mosquini) is pursued by various men but a new dentist (Snub Pollard) really makes a move for her, pushing aside his rival dentist Gaylord Lloyd (Harold's brother) with ease. Snub is also not averse to using laughing gas to subdue Fifi and have his way with her! 

Questionable morals aside, this is a decent enough farce which gets most of it's laughs from Pollard's interesting method of patient care and his roughhouse style in general. Not a great comedy short but perfectly passable.
