What did you rate 'Pass the Gravy' (1928)?

Max Davidson stars in this hilarious silent Hal Roach comedy as a put-upon father who invites his neighbor to dinner as a peace-offering -- and then realizes the chicken he's serving was the man's prize-winning rooster. Everyone at the table sees the "First prize" leg band before poor Max.

Very, very funny. I've had the chance to see this twice: first in Chicago as part of a collection of Max Davidson shorts presented by William K. Everson and then again tonight at a private screening. Just wonderful. I rated it 9/10.
