  • Playing the Stars and Stripes Forever on the tire pump is one of the most hilarious things you'll ever see. It's doubtful you'll ever see this kind of act ever emerge again; it's a postcard from an age long since past.

  • It's so incredible that, at first sight, I thought it was a fake (playback).

    But no, it seems he's really playing !!

  • I understand that Vaudevillians typically had only one routine because they traveled so much to new venues that they didn't need new material very often. The constant honing, refining, and polishing their one act to a perfection that would go on doing traveling so helps explain the amazing result.

    perfectionism in their performances.

  • Will is the shit

    (m*)

  • wow that was 5 star amazing, funny, talented and original!

  • Так мог сделать только он один - естественно игра на этом инструменте дело знакомое..

  • a quarter of the time he is playing out of tune. otherwise this is soooooooooo funny!!!

  • are you kidding? who cares if he's out of tune? being in tune is easy - what he does, not easy.

  • LOL, true

  • Quite amazing bit. From "King of Jazz" 1930.

  • But Mr. Chaplin was left handed? Is he Mr. Chaplin?

  • no this is NOT Charlie Chaplin. It says right there at the top who it is. "Willie Hall".

  • Thanks a lot, he is really amazing I didn't see something as that

  • It's alright. Willie Hall truly was one of the unknown greats of the vaudville era, and was commonly mistaken for Charlie Chaplin, so it's really not surprising anymore...

  • jesus, you cant play the violin depending on you handedness, its the same each way lol!

    amazing vid!

  • Wooow Mr. Chaplin you are great.

  • Imaginación esa es la cuestión, aunque al final el premio sea tan duro. Genial generación de cómicos, Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd..Magnificos.

  • pretty cool =]

  • Awesome!!!! :D

  • Too amazing for words!!!

  • that was so cool!!!

  • And I now find myself longing for the olden days.

    Its amazing how such simple objects can be so awesome, even today in a world made of silicon and false empathy.

  • UR SO PROFOUND OMGZMzZ121241

  • When the hell did I make this comment. Seriously.

  • There was so much talent and varied skills in Vaudeville. This is a great representation of the deep pool of talent that entertained us before radio, TV, and um, this.

  • omg! where did you get this treasure from?!
