The Freckled Fish
The Freckled Fish is a 1919 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy. Simon Louvish describes this as part of the "Charlie from the Orient" series starring Chai Hong as a kind of "Chinese Charlie Chaplin." Reviews were tepid, with The Moving Picture World declaring that "the action is too indefinite to hold the attention closely, and the number as a whole is only fair." This was Hardy's last film with L-KO studios before he joined Vitagraph.
This plot synopsis comes from the original Library of Congress copyright filing for the film:
If you are thinking of trout, don't bank on it, for it's just as likely to be clam chowder with no clams in it, for the "Freckled Fish" is just the name of the restaurant where our old friend Chai Chow masquerades as the head waiter. Solomon Soopmeat commands the kitchen regiment and old Aunt Chloe adds color to his sector. And, of course, there is the cashier, who makes the customers forget how much of the meal was missing, and also their change.
