Commentary
This film is THE LIVE AGENT starring Al St John and Bartine Burkett. It was the first of the "Biff Thrill Comedies" that were released by producer Samuel Bischoff in 1925 - 1926. I viewed this film on nitrate a few years ago at a well-known European archive. I'm going to upload a glass slide image that I have for the film. The info I've gathered is:

THE LIVE AGENT (8/10/1925). Prod & Dist: Samuel Bischoff. Dir: Grover Jones. 2 reels. Cast: Al St John, Bartine Burkett, John Sinclair, Harry Martel.
