PUNQ

Rated 15 May 2013

The end of Mack Sennett! The start for Joan Davis! The start AND end for John W. Jackson! And one of the earliest appearances of Roy Rogers! And Buster Keaton's mother & sister is in it too! Historic little comedy short this! But of course the quality of material isn't much to brag about being just a cheap Educational production. But Joan Davis's impress in her debut saving this with her goofy routine singing, dancing and clowning around.
