Yes, Mark, it's part of Kino Video's terrific collection of Keaton
material.  You'll find it in Volume 3 of Kino's three-volume set.
Vol 3 consists of three tapes--including one with PLAYHOUSE, COPS and
THE GENERAL on it.
 
The other features in that volume are COLLEGE and STEAMBOAT BILL, JR.
 Five other shorts are also included.
 
I highly recommend it.  Good quality transfers from good quality
original sources.
