Information on can: Plein Les Bottes, 1925 (translation: “Full Boots”)
All intertitles are in French, with footage missing at the tails of R2, including closing credits.
Plot: Concerning the marriage of Molly Mauve. Molly has problems with both of her parents who seem to disapprove of her upcoming marriage. Her mustached father and nagging mother constantly intervene every time her beau comes over. Her father needs to go to the boot maker for new shoes for the wedding. Somehow, dad loses something in the shoe store. At the wedding, as father realizes what he lost and ends up in a pile of shoes and shoe boxes looking for the lost item.
In the scans the father is Chester Conklin, and the mother Blanche Payson. Don't recognize the girl playing Molly. I'm pretty sure this is one of the comedies that Chester Conklin made for Fox Films sporadically from 1919 to 1923. I'm heading off to the International Chaplin Conference for a few days, but when I get back I'll check the trade magazines for a plot that matches.
