Yes, I cut the clip from a silent movie and added the sound track...

In case you are curious... the star of the film is Max Linder, a French born silent movie actor. His films, in my opinion, are very entertaining and somewhat underrated... In spite of his whimsical characters, he had a dark side and committed suicide with his wife in 1925...
