    This very late Charley Chase film -- it was the last released while he was alive --reworks the themes from ASSISTANT WIVES, but don't be cross. Chase would redo his films every eight years or so and vary them consistently to produce something fresh each time. Here he gets into a lovely plate-throwing routine with Ann Doran before she walks out on him -- and boss Arthur Q. Bryan is coming to dinner, doing his Elmer Fudd voice -- although never credited, since Mel Blanc had sole screen credit, it was Bryan who did Fudd, and boy, does he look and act like him, even with no obvious mansion or yacht.

    This is a very oddly timed short for Chase, who usually worked at a slower and more deliberate pace. On the other hand, it's quite a bit slower than the usual Columbia short, as people lose their tempers quickly, but always with reason. The collaboration with director Del Lord might have managed something interesting in this line, but alas, they never had the chance to get much further.
