Kicking Through is a fascinating entry in Universal Pictures' serial, The Collegians. It's Episode #3 of the third series, and while the director remains a mystery, the film captures the spirit of late '20s comedy. The pacing is brisk, filled with physical humor and slapstick antics that reflect the era's lighter tone. The performances, though perhaps not as polished as later sound films, bring a certain charm that’s hard to dismiss. You can’t ignore the practical effects, cleverly done for the time, which add a layer of authenticity. It’s a neat little time capsule of collegiate life, all wrapped in vibrant, if somewhat chaotic, comedic narratives that keep you engaged.
Kicking Through is a notable piece in the serial format, and while copies aren’t exactly plentiful, they do pop up occasionally in collector circles. The silent film era has its own niche of enthusiasts, and this title, though not widely recognized, holds interest for those diving into the Universal Pictures catalog. It’s a bit harder to find on home video, adding to its allure for collectors who appreciate the ins and outs of silent comedy history.
