5/10
Hotel Flunkies.
16 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Silent. An employment agency sends Stan and Ollie to a fancy hotel, with a note of introduction: "We have reason to believe they may be competent." Of course, they're not.

First off, they're mistaken for a visiting Prince and Prime Minister, and there are some diverting moments involving their signing the register, with Ollie shaking the ink out of the pen and the Prince falling into the grime at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

The teen-aged Jean Harlow appears for a few minutes, and, man, she is gorgeous and sexy. Whew.

There are some running gags involving a beat cop and a cab driver but there's nothing outrageously comic about them. It's a reasonably entertaining short, with Stan and Ollie doing their usual stuff.
