  • Let George Do It was a series of two-reeler American silent comedy films produced in the latter half of the 1920s. The films (40 in all) were based on the comic strip Let George Do It, which was written and drawn by George McManus (who later created the more famous strip Bringing Up Father). The series was produced by the Stern Brothers (Julius Stern and Abe Stern) and was one of many silent comedy series issued by Universal Pictures. Syd Saylor starred as George in all of the films. His supporting players included Thelma Daniels, Jean Doree, Dorothy Gulliver, Colin Chase, Dorothy Coburn, Harry Martell, Derelys Perdue, Marie D'Arcy, Betty Walsh, and Lorima Clark. The New York Times, in a 1927 review of one of the shorts (on the bill with the feature The Callahans and the Murphys at the Capitol Theatre), described it as a "comedy of the conventional kind" which "gets its share of laughs". Raymond Ganly, in Motion Picture News, wrote that Television George "contains some good fun patterned after the usual 'dumb' comedy style of its star, Syd Saylor" and "releases a high proportion of merriment".
