Missing hats and rooftop chaos

This is basically the essence of this Laurel & Hardy short film from 1930. it was made 85 years ago and it is one of their earlier sound films. The silent era was a thing of the past, bot not for really long at this point. However, it is still a black-and-white film. This movie runs for not even 20 minutes and was directed by the still pretty young James Parrott. He made many Stan & Ollie films, also many other movies and was one of the most prolific movie makers of his time. Hadn't he died in his early 40s already, he would have been even more prolific. And he was a talented actor too who appeared in over 100 movies. The writer is H.M. Walker and he worked on many Larel & Hardy films too. This short film here has a couple funny moments, but all in all not that many really. It's an okay watch once for fans of the duo, but the rest doesn't really need to watch it. Not one of their best in my opinion.
