Kraft And Lamont
boblipton12 April 2021
It's a vaudeville two-act, with Kraft playing the 'lecherous child' and Miss Lamont the object of his lust..... or maybe it's the money she's supposed to have. He does some goofy stuff, they end with a dance, and then,you may imagine, the card changes and another act comes out on the vaudeville stage.

This one looks like it could be stuck anywhere in the bill. It's not a top act by any means, and it might well be a chaser -- an act that's supposed to get the audience satisfied that they've seen enough of this show, let's go out, get a beer at the speakeasy, and head home.

I am beginning to have second thoughts....

Used to fantasize about time traveling to 1929, a golden time at the dawn of squawking pictures. Some of these Vitaphone shorts make me wonder just how golden it really was. This short is not funny in any way, the crew must have been throwing up lunch behind the set.

Quirky and Funny
jamesesteinke12 September 2020
I spent an evening watching these Vitaphone shorts from the late 20's and early 30's. This one stood out for how quirky and funny it was. I couldn't find any information on either Jack Kraft or Elsie Lamont but I suspect they came from Vaudeville. This is unsophisticated humor from a simpler time. Jack reminded me of Jerry Lewis and Elsie is an attractive straight "man" who can dance. Jack's dance with Elsie at the end "had me in stitches."
