This is a poster for the Chicago World's Fair of 1933 and 1934 by the Union Pacific Railroad. There is also a sign advertising round-trip fares to Chicago for $90.30, which equates to over $1,830 in 2021.
Featured review
See Thelma Todd imitate Oliver Hardy
I am NOT a fan of the shorts of Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly--so please understand this and consider this as you read. I have never thought any of their films were anything better than mediocre, so the fact I didn't like this isn't a surprise to me. However, it IS better than many of their films--believe me, it can be a lot worse than BACKS TO NATURE. Also, it is interesting to see Ms. Todd using many of Oliver Hardy's mannerisms. Sure, they both made films for Roach Studios, but this was the first time I could see again and again little mannerisms lifted right from Oliver Hardy--including the fidgeting with the hat and the expressions. I really wonder if this was originally planned as a Laurel and Hardy short but it was passed on to the ladies--perhaps because it was an inferior script. As for Patsy Kelly (the loudest "comedienne" in history), she did a lot of the same moves Stan Laurel used to do as well--especially tripping over things or accidentally knocking things over. HOWEVER, the difference is that Stanley was dumb but sweet and well-meaning. Ms. Kelly, was more just a boorish and self-centered character that was a lot harder to like or connect with--making the film reminiscent of Stan and Ollie but without the charm.
