it hard to imagine that anyone could find this short their favorite if they have see most of their short and but i know that humor be very subjective . i have see all of their sound short ( by far the best of their stuff imo ) and i find this one of their weak effort . in the year this be make ( 1930 ) stan and babe make 15 short and one feature . they be extremely popular and their bos hal roach take full advantage by keep them work constantly . in addition and this be a time of experimentation for the writer and stan . i would say this be an experiment that really do not work . a someone else say and it do not play to their strength . too much dialog and plot . the best part of this one for me be the largely improvised sequence with stan a agnes the maid and the great thelma todd talk about girl stuff . if you really want to see the boy at their most creative and funny check out blotto and or brat from the same year . they make so many short in such a short time that i think they can be forgive for turn out a few less then par short . they make something like 108 film altogether . very few ( except for the one make at fox ) be outright failure but there be some . county hospital and me and my pal and the live ghost and the fixer upper come to mind a essentially weak one . but other then those i find something wonderful in just about all their short . quite a record in my book . if you have see and enjoy all their other short then by all mean check this one out and but i would be willing to bet that this one be less then memorable to stan and babe .
