That Pair from Thespia

Movie

Starring Augustus Carney, Victor Potel, Margaret Joslin, Evelyn Selbie

Shakespeare the Second and Dan Rice the Third, would-be ham actors, blow into the town of Barnstorm. That afternoon they give a "free" performance, which is indeed terrible. Dan Rice passes the hat, only to receive cat-calls for his trouble. The hotel proprietor orders them to pay their bill and leave town.
