Figures Do Lie Synopsis
Violet Palmer and Jack Cooper star as Etta and Hamond Egg. Hamond Egg, a well-known man about town gets a job as a judge at a local bathing beauty contest, but Etta, who has been reading a book on how to become a female detective, quickly catches on. She dons a disguise and takes part in the contest herself. This delightful comedy from Bray Studios also features Frank "Fatty" Alexander, an obese comedian who would later star with two other heavyweights, Hillard "Fat" Kerr and "Kewpie" Ross in F.B.O.'s low-budget "Ton of Fun" series towards the end of the silent era.
May Day Parade Synopsis
"Figures Do Lie" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "May Day Parade" offers its own unique cult appeal.
