This is the Jack White produced Big Boy Comedy FOLLOW TEACHER. I've seen a 16mm print in the collection of a friend.

In the scans besides Malcolm "Big Boy" Sebastian, is Burt Young as the cider drinking father, Al Thompson as the teacher, and Georgia O'Dell is the older lady. Little Billy Barty also turns up in the film as the baby that Big Boy has to take care of in the opening section.

The details on the film are:

FOLLOW TEACHER (12/6/1928) Prod: Jack White. Dist: Educational Pictures. Dir: Charles Lamont. 2 reels. Cast: Malcolm Sebastian, Billy Barty, Burt Young, Al Thompson, Georgia O'Dell.
