Summary
If you love fishing then you'll laugh till your sides ache and the tears start when you see Ben Turpin and the magician catch a whale of a fish in a desert oasis which has opened out of the sands at the swish of a magic wand. It's only in the movies, but it looks good enough to be true when you see it in Mack Sennett's new burlesque, starring Ben Turpin, celebrated cross-eyed comedian. It's 'The Shriek of Araby.'
