Hollywood
Chicago Coin, 1976I recently restored a Hollywood pinball including gluing the cracked backglass together. It plays really nice.
However, I'm wondering about one character on the back glass. I of course recognize Laurel and Hardy, Mae West and W.C. Fields. The other characters look generic but what about this guy? He looks like he's from a specific movie but I guess I haven't seen that one. Does anyone know old movies enough to identify this guy?

Yeah agreed, looks like it’s from this movie;

Yes indeed. It's Ben Turpin who was a very popular (at the time) silent movies comedian. His claim to fame was his crossed eyes.
