Fine reconstruction here. Another can be found in the book "Laurel & Hardy" by John McCabe (1984).
The sad part in losing this film to history is not only being deprived of the performances Laurel and Hardy, but that of Anita Garvin (the woman at the top of the stairs starting at 2:00). If you haven't already, catch her in the surviving Laurel and Hardy classic "Soup to Nuts."
