The First Laugh
8 December 2020
Laurel and Hardy are the new doorman and footman at a Times Square hotel. The agency thinks there's some rason to believe they are competent. Oviously, they've never met the Boys.

There are also a motley assortment of hotel guests, including Jean Harlow before she was anything more than a stunning blonde, and Erich von Stroheim's double doing a deadly imitation of Von.

You can see that they;'ve already made the shift to sound shorts with UNACCUSTOMED AS WE ARE, which was released two weeks before this. Not only are there plenty of sound effects, but the titles for dialogue are the sort of lines they would speak, reflections of their screen personalities. There's no shortage of laughs in this one.
