No Cabarets Here

Rival suitors Larry Semon and Oliver Hardy turn up at the same time to court Kathleen Myers.

beware of imitations

The internet being the peculiar mess and muddle that it is, a search for this title will find you not Lightning Love but a Russian copy of The Midnight Cabaret which is for some bizarre reason entitled Lightning Love. Nil desperandum. A search for Lighting Love (sic) will find you the right film, albeit in a ghastly "commentated" version (aka A Jaimito no le parte un rayo)
