Film Poster -' Hello Pimple Again'. Possibly 'Pimple Becomes an Acrobat'. Film produced by Folly Films.

Between 1912 and 1918, Fred Evans and his elder brother, Joe, produced several series of short comedies, the most popular being the long-running series featuring the character of Pimple, played by Fred himself. Both brothers wrote and directed, and Joe played other parts as required. The Evans brothers were brought up with the traditions of the music hall (their uncle was the famous comedy sketch writer and silent music hall performer, Will Evans), and their parents were part of several touring musical troupes, this along with pantomime were a significant influence on their films.
