This is a genuine comedy short in the series of Joe McDoakes, made by Warner Brothers. These little human interest shorts ran with feature films in theaters in the 1930s through the 1950s. They now appear as bonus items on DVDs of films.
George O'Hanlon was Joe McDoakes in Warner Brothers shorts. Another popular shorts personality was Robert Benchley, author, actor and humorist. He made a wonderful short for MGM, "How to Sleep" in 1935. It was inspired by a study made for the Simmons Mattress Company by Mellon Institute.
Just imagine the different "remedies" friends have to offer when one says he can't sleep at night. Joe McDoakes tries a bunch of them in this funny, entertaining movie house filler.
