George Stevens graduated from cameraman to director at Roach, but eventually RKO offered him more opportunities, so off he went. This short looks a lot like the Boy Friends series at Roach -- ex-Roach director Fred Guiol is a writer and ex-Roach regular Grady Sutton appears in front of the camera -- but the humor is much less subtle and bawdier than at Roach.
Still, a fairly well done short with the usual beautiful Stevens compositions. Worth a look to see if this is to your taste.
