Goofs
The Boys have told their wives that they're going to the Orpheum Theatre with their boss. The theatre burns down and newspapers are on the street within minutes ! The wives get a copy and the headline is in the middle of the top part of the paper under what appears to be a cartoon sketch. After the Boys return home Ollie is describing the acts they saw. Stan sees the paper with the headline in the same position but when he holds it up to show Ollie it's a banner headline across the top of the paper.

Not really silent

Just a quick note to say that this movie is silent, but was nevertheless released with music and effects on Vitaphone discs. The discs has been found, and at least the German Kinowelt DVD release of Sons of the Desert has We Faw Down as an bonus, complete with the music and effects track.

It is always a bonus to watch the silent Laurel & Hardy comedies with the proper, original music and effects track. This brings us a little bit closer to the film's original state.

In general, the Vitaphone system did not last very long, but the system of having soundtracks stored separately does open the possibility of restoring soundtracks even if the film element has been put together from various prints.
