Does anyone have an idea what movie they're working on?

Of the 17 shorts Sid Smith (1898-1928) made in 1922, five were directed by Alfred Santell (1895-1981), eleven by Noel C Smith (1895-1955) and two by Herman C Raymaker (1893-1944). Smith shared acting credit with George Williams (1854-1936) in 8 of the shorts and with Jimmie Adams (1888-1933) in another 8. Sid Smith got sole acting credit for "Dandy Dan, He's a Detective". This one was produced by William Fox. All the others were produced by Harry Cohn (1891-1958). They were made for
Hall Room Boy Photoplays.
The
only one of the shorts made in 1922 which has other cast members listed in IMDB, other than the leads, is the first one, "Nobody's Baby" (6 Jan 1922). A man a woman and a boy were credited along with Smith and Adams:
Joseph Belmont (1874-1939)
Lillian Biron (1898-1957)
Walter Wilkinson (1916-1981)
Herman C Raymaker directed and Harry Cohen produced.
I haven't had much success finding pix of the people credited on "Nobody's Baby" (I couldn't scare up a copy of the short either). Maybe someone else can.

P.S.
Or it
could be "Bridle Grooms", released New Year's Day 1923. Another Noel M Smith/Harry Cohen effort. The credits on that one are Sid Smith, George Williams and Bud Jamison. There's plenty of pix of Jamison (he was in many of the Three Stooges films):
