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.

Quotes
Ollie: Be Bohemian--make whoopee.
Stan: [tears off woman's corsage and throws it] Whoopee!

Laurel & Hardy's We Faw Down has them doing some funny pantomime

Just watched this Laurel & Hardy comedy on Hulu as linked from IMDb. In this one, Stan & Ollie are trying to get to a poker game but their wives seemed determined to keep them at home. So when someone from there calls, Ollie takes it and addresses him as Boss so he could fool the spouses that he and Stan are going to the Orpheum Theater to see a live show with him. After they leave, they meet a couple of ladies after one of them misplaces a hat...I'll stop there and just say while there's not too much slapstick here (though the give-and-take between Stan and one of the ladies was pretty funny), there is some highly amusing pantomime between the boys when they try to describe what they saw in the show as the wives can only grimace at what they know are bald-faced lies. Don't want to reveal much more than that so I'll just say I recommend We Faw Down. P.S. On YouTube, there's an "extended" version which puts nearly the entirety of Laurel & Hardy's next short, Liberty, in the middle of it. This is obviously because those scenes were originally part of this short but had to be cut for time constraints.
