Bromo and Juliet is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Leo McCarey starring Charley Chase with an appearance by Oliver Hardy.

The father writes a cheque but it just says Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and is signed W. Shakespeare.

The drunken father leaves the barber and smashes the showroom window of a bathroom shop to start to shave.

When he tries to sell it a man draws a pistol and forces the bootlegger to "drink his own poison".

When he sits the water starts to pour out and soaks a man below, but when he goes to complain he presumes it is the small child with Charley.

Back at the cab the father lets a tyre down to distract the driver then runs off.

Both Charley and father arrive at the theatre in time for the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

When Juliet leaves the balcony and is replaced by the policeman Charley drops off in shock.

Next Charley materialises in the ghost scene from Hamlet, sleeping on the rising moon.

He borrows Banquo's sheet and staggers over stage followed by the policeman also dressed as a ghost.

Four sailors go on stage for a song and dance act and Charley joins the end of the line.
