		For every moment in which Langdon's quirky, minute gestures work their subtle spell, there are comic set-pieces that have little to do with him, that, in fact, highlight his deficiencies by placing him on turf already claimed by Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd.
		Harry's belt is caught on a nail and he fusses with it, not realizing that he is in danger of plummeting to his death.
		Harry Langdon deserved a lot better than he got, both from his collaborators and from posterity.

		During the course of his westward hike, Langdon woos Joan Crawford, is thrown in a chain gang, dangled from the edge of a cliff and caught in a violent tornado.
		Harry wishes to dump his bride-to-be on their wedding day so that he can flee to his true love, a cocaine dealer, who is in prison.
		Langdon toiled away in vaudeville---where he was a perennial headliner--- since the early 1900s before being given his first break in silents in the early 1920s.

	Mystery of Harry Langdon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		At the forefront of the Langdon revision is Floyd Bennett, president of the Harry Langdon Society.
		Langdon seemed to have turned the corner, and appeared to have finally gotten a grasp on his screen character.
		While Langdon may have originated his character for vaudeville skits, when it came to providing the vision for his cinematic persona it was the Sennett 'brain trust' who developed that for the movies.

		Priscilla, the adorable girl next door, is enamored of Harry, and their wedding day has arrived with all of the friends, family and neighbors filling the house in the midst of this festive atmosphere.
		When Langdon takes Priscilla in the woods to shoot her, this is totally a man, not a man acting as a child.
		Certainly, Langdon deserves to be revered as one of the best comedians of the silent era, but, for the novice who is first being introduced to this man, it is best to start at the beginning of his career with Mack Sennett and see his films in the order they were made.

	© Harry Langdon, Silent Film Comedian - goldensilents.com
		Although Harry's humor was not the typical slapstick style that Sennett featured in his other films, he sensed that Harry had a unique talent all his own, and he assigned top writers and directors to work with him, including the writer Arthur Ripley, and the young directors Harry Edwards and Frank Capra.
		For example, Harry's trying to stop a tornado by throwing pebbles at it in "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" (1926), or Harry rubbing his chest with what he thinks is camphor, but which is really Limberger cheese, as he rides on a bus in "The Strong Man" (1926).
		The public responded favorably and Harry enjoyed a few productive years of artistic and commercial successes to rival those of his contemporaries Chaplin, Lloyd, and Keaton.

		Langdon, who was born in Council Bluffs, ran away from home when he was 13 to join a traveling medicine show, and later performed in vaudeville, burlesque and musical comedy.
		Langdon reached the height of his fame in the mid-1920s, with such feature-length films as "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," with Joan Crawford, "The Strong Man" and "Long Pants." He reportedly made $7,500 a week.
		Some say Langdon's decline was brought on by his attempt to write and direct his own movies.

		He quickly appeared in numerous two-reel comedies, in the course of which he developed his own screen persona: his childlike face covered by traditional pantomime white make-up, he wore a tightly buttoned jacket as though he were a boy who had outgrown it.
		Langdon's enormous success fuelled his ego, and after a year or two he dispensed with Edwards and Capra and took sole responsibility for his films.
		Langdon was soon fired by his film company, after which he returned to vaudeville for almost two years.

	Tramp, Tramp, Tramp
		Langdon does some remarkable work....Aside from the expert handling of all the gags assigned him, he does several long scenes in which facial expression is the only acting.
		Langdon plays "Harry Logan," the son of a local shoemaker who now can't make ends meet because the giant corporation Burton Shoes has been wiping out competition with their successful billboard ad campaign featuring Burton's daughter Betty.
		The difference between these two and Langdon, though, is that the formers' interplay with and interpretations of their comedic situations seems a lot more engaged and witty and fast-paced---they had an adult sensibility despite their man-child personae.

		Harry then rides the fence to the bottom of the cliff, putting him ahead of the other race contestants.
		You'll find a wonderfully anarchic scene where Harry is forced to play a circus strong man for an audience of rowdies and he ends up firing a canon as the audience storms the stage, destroying the theater in the process.
		You'll find a marvelous sequence where Harry loses his fiancee's wedding ring and finds it embedded in the tire of a passing car: he pulls out a small knife and begins jabbing the tire (slashing the tire to ribbons in the process).

		Jewel thief Gertrude Astor, hoping to use Langdon as a dupe in order to evade the cops, claims that she is the girl he's looking for.
		When Langdon finally finds the real Bonner, he discovers she is blind--just as well, he reasons, since she regards him as something of a strong, strapping hero-type, which he most decidedly is not.
		Harry Langdon would never again have a vehicle so perfectly suited to his "grown up baby" screen persona; if you've never seen this unique comedy genius in action, catch this film when the opportunity arises.

		Photographic portraits have a life of their own, "capturing little bits of spirit every time the shutter clicks," says Harry Langdon, who has been in demand as a celebrity portrait photographer for decades.
		The son of a silent screen comedian after whom he was named, Langdon feels " a tremendous sense of responsibility" to his clients, both the stars and those who would be stars.
		And, he muses, during an interview in his Beverly Hills studio, portrait photography is not what it once was.

		Hapless Harry Higgins (Langdon), "just a crumb from the sponge of life," must contend with nagging wife Alice Ward; however, through no fault of his own, he finds himself scheduled to date a young cutie.

		But watching even a somewhat misused Langdon is time well-spent, and TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP has its compensations, among them a cyclone that almost terminates Harry before he routs it with an effete flurry of rock throwing.
		Some have found Langdon's reversion to literal infancy in TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP's closing minutes a little creepy, but the bit in which Harry is apprehended for poaching is, in fact, a lot more discomforting.
		Those with a weakness for psychosexual symbolism are guaranteed to raise an eyebrow or two at the scene's connotations of late-term pregnancy (the live chicken under Harry's shirt), scatology (the watermelon in the seat of his pants), and post-feeding-time satiety (his jam-smeared face).
