Would-Be Laurel & Hardy?
boblipton18 December 2022
Janitor Monte Collins and window washer Vernon Dent are fired for fighting by their boss, Bobby Burns. In the next shot, they are home decorators working for Eva Thatcher who, it will turn out, is married to....

It's the last Educational comedy one-reeler, and it's directed by producer Jack White's brother, Jules White, who would soon leave for MGM, and then for Columbia. As continued to be his habit for the next thirty years, White believes that pain is funny, and while there is one funny sequence involving putting books into a window seat, most of this is taken up by an effort to make the two comics into a fat-and-skinny pair. Unhappily, while they were each fine comic actors, White's direction fails to spark any chemistry.
