What He Forgot is a 1915 American comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy.[1] It was on a split reel with He Gave Him a Million.[2]

Plot

This plot summary and review was published in The Moving Picture World for January 16, 1915:[2]

A very effective comedy, showing how a man gets himself into trouble through his own foolishness—but there is an incentive which he cannot resist. As a laugh creator this release is a winner.

This one appeared in Motography for January 2, 1915.:[3]

Bill Bailey, on his way to the office, stops to see them take a motion picture, and when the director suggests that he pose, and Bill learns he is expected to kiss the pretty leading woman, Bill jumps at the chance. Bill's wife, Bella, is a movie fiend, and at the theater she sees Bill kissing another woman. She tells her' brother, Jack, and her father, and Bill has a lively time as a result. Mae Hotely and Jerold Hevener featured.
