A series of vignettes with a loose plot. Featured are Frank Morgan, Groucho Marx, Frank McHugh, Robert Benchley and The Brian Sisters. Not bad, more interesting for the historical significance than for entertainment.

Viewing Notes
Another short film (20 minutes long!) on the 4-movie classic movie set I got from the library network (to see ARSENIC AND OLD LACE). Suppose this short was chosen bc it features a bit with Groucho Marx and NIGHT AT THE OPERA was another feature on the set. There’s no real narrative here; it’s just a series of bits and gags that take place in the Trocadero Club. Some of it is okay but a lot of it isn’t that funny. Of course there’s a blackface gag.
