Alice loves it when men play the piano. Unfortunately, when Joe buys one, he finds it's not nearly as easy as everyone else makes it out to be.
This is the second to last of the Joe McDoakes shorts. Considering how many they'd made, when you compare this to earlier ones it sure looks as if the director (Richard Bare) and writer (George O'Hanlon) didn't care any more. This is because in the piano playing sequences, it's VERY obvious some of the folks playing aren't playing at all...as their fingers aren't even touching the keys and the viewer can clearly see this. As for the writing, this one wasn't funny...and little attempt was made to make this as funny as the previous shorts. A real shame but fortunately, the next (and last) is significantly better.
