This 20 minute short was my first experience with the Clark and McCullogh comedy team. I had an excellent trip back to 1935 to experience the zany comedy which kept me, and the rest of the patrons at the Capitol cinema, in a state of continuous laughter.
I wasn't sure what to expect at first. Were these guys going to be spouting silly commentary like Wheeler and Woolsey, or physical comedy like Chaplin or the Marx Brothers. In reality it was a bit of both, but the clear central figure was Bobby Clark.
Groucho painted on his mustache but Clark is sillier still, painting on his eyeglasses. That is not the source of the humor though. It is fast moving, silly, and hillarious.....filled with slapstick comedy and verbal plays. Clark is like Harpo and Groucho in one body and the scenes of rotating people in various hotel rooms/hallways/showers is not something you see captured on film anymore.
Don't miss this one if you get a chance.
