Hank and Lank: They Take a Rest (1910) Online

Hank and Lank have had some unusually strenuous experiences since we saw them last, and wandering lazily about town they stop before a furniture store in front of which are displayed two largo, commodious Morris chairs, which look particularly inviting to the two tired hoboes.

Once again these favorites appear in a lively and altogether laughable comedy. From the tune when the two altogether delectable individuals asleep in the reclining chairs until they leave the unfortunate policeman struggling to free himself from his tangle at the gate is a laugh in every move.

Hank and Lank are unquestioned favorites and wherever they appear a good humored audience is certain. - The Moving Picture World, November 5, 1910
