Mixed Nuts

This short is so full of jive, so full of sauce, and so full of go... and I do believe the word is GO here, baby...

What's up with the cast? Are you gonna make a series around these two English guys or aren't you? Billy Nelson and Douglas Wakefield have the saddest distinction of being the most forgotten of all comedy teams, and it's only because the work they DID do is totally unavailable. I mean, where's "Music In Your Hair" and shorts like those? Where's the rest of the All-Star series? There was also something Roach did with Irwin S. Cobb in the mid-30's. What happened to THOSE shorts? Where are they? Were they destroyed? Have they EVER seen the light of day? Are they stuck in a vault somewhere in Norway, perhaps? It would've been the studio's folly to delete them right after they appeared.

Anyway, this lively scoop of sweet heavy cream has the same opening theme to the Boy Friends' shorts, "Let's Go," and it was directed by James Parrott, who directed a great deal of Laurel and Hardy, Thelma Todd, and Our Gang shorts.

And instead of stressing education at this school, they swivel their hips and shake their fannies, and this is how they get ahead at this so-called "institution of learning." The only people I recognize here are Don Barclay and Nora Cecil.
