Nuts in May (film)

Nuts in May (1917) is a silent comedy short, directed by Robin Williamson, produced by Isadore Bernstein, and featuring Stan Laurel, billed as Stan Jefferson, in his onscreen debut.

Stan plays a resident of "Home for the Weak-Minded", apparently a lunatic asylum.

Stan walks the grounds of the cuckoo-hatch sticking his right hand into his shirt and wearing a Napoleon hat.

Stan gets out and finds some local boys, who eagerly join him in playing soldier.

The surviving footage consists of Stan in various scrapes with a steamroller, ending with him in a straw boater being dragged off to the asylum.
