Potseluy Meri Pikford Synopsis

Goga is a Russian man who has no luck with women. He has a chance meeting with Mary Pickford. She kisses him in full view of several and he instantly becomes attractive to them. They chase him through streets, a la Buster Keaton in _Seven Chances_ (1925).

His Royal Slyness Synopsis

An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.

Verdict & Recommendation

"Potseluy Meri Pikford" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "His Royal Slyness" offers its own unique cult appeal.
