Some Nice Tips
When the train he is on stops in the middle of nowhere, Babe Ruth notices some kids playing baseball and goes to take part in the game. They don't believe who he is, at first.
It's directed with good humor and works based on the public image of Ruth as a childlike character, who loved kids. As with all carefully managed public figures, the reality was a bit darker, but it's still a lot of fun to see him here, offering useful baseball tips in one of several shorts he made in this period. It's directed by Benjamin Stoloff, who started out directing short comedies during the silent era, and graduated to westerns with sound.
