A selection of silent short films made during Leo McCarey’s early years at Hal Roach Studios, with live piano accompaniment by Hughes Maréchal. The films trace McCarey's rapid rise from gag writer to a key creative at the studio, particularly through his work with Charley Chase and the formation of the Laurel & Hardy duo. These selected shorts showcase the evolution of his style, precise comic timing, and mastery of narrative structure.
