Imogene Coca who later got small screen stardom as a regular on Sid Caesar's Comedy Show made her big screen debut in this funny short subject. Imogene was the Carol Burnett of her day, she did physical type comedy in the same way Burnett did to a future generation.
In this short she is the world's worst ballerina and driving her choreographer mad. But when a competitor comes up short a dancer Imogene is sent over as a replacement. Things work out quite interestingly.
There was a famous I Love Lucy Show where Lucy attempted the ballet with some of the same results we see here. They are as good here as they were for Lucy.
This short is a rare opportunity to see Imogene Coca years before she became a television star.
