California Straight Ahead is a 1925 American silent comedy film directed by Harry A. Pollard and starring Reginald Denny, Gertrude Olmstead, and Tom Wilson.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] on the eve of his wedding, Tom Hayden (Denny) entertains the boys in "The Honeymoon Trailer," an elaborate transcontinental bus he has rigged up for the bridal tour.

The insane woman jumps from beneath the bedclothes, embraces him and calls him her long lost lover, making a scene in front of the house of the bride, who scorns him.

They are accompanied by Creighton Deane (Gerrard), who has offered financial assistance to Browne’s concern and counts on marrying Betty.

Betty, freezing in her tent at night, ventures to call on Tom in his nice warm bus during the absence of her parents who are visiting a nearby circus.

The use of white actors in blackface for black character roles in Hollywood films did not begin to decline until the late 1930s, and is now considered highly offensive, disrespectful, and racist.
