A HINT TO BRIDES is the only surviving talkie short with Ruth Taylor, famous for starring as Lorelei Lee in the 1928 silent GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES. She has a squeaky voice that reminded me of Mae Murray. In this one she's a new bride married to Johnny Arthur. When their home is burgled by robbers (Lawrence Leslie, Martie Martell) the dumb blonde comes up with the smart idea of offering them the presents they don't want (including the stuffed owl) and calling it even. Taylor's two talkie feature films survive along with several of the silent comedy shorts.
IMDb lists Martie Martell as Margie, but she's clearly billed as Martie in the opening credits. All three of Martell's credits are listed as Martie .... there is no Margie Martell.
