The guy robbing him with the gun saying to Charley: " You think you have it bad! Look! A gun with no bullets!" Funny line! Great comedy parody on the Great Depression!😂
The beginning credits show the NRA emblem but the NRA act wasn't passed until 1933. If this is a 1931 production perhaps it was reissued with that symbol.
@@JamesDeckelman The (N)ational (R)ecovery (A)dministration was an office created during Franklin Roosevelt's first term as a sort-of national labor union that guaranteed wages, benefits, and pensions, all unheard-of for the federal government to be so involved in unionization. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the 1933 National Recovery Act and the National Recovery Administration unconstitutional, that the U. S. Government encroached on the rights of workers to unionize themselves. The NRA was, initially, welcomed by the American public because it not only created jobs, it assured that wages and working conditions were optimal for workers. Businesses and industries would proudly display the NRA symbol so that the public would have favorable impressions of them as "good eggs"---doing their part to recover economically. This included the film industry. Films from 1933-1935 carried the NRA symbol. This print of "The Panic is On" must be a re-issue print because there was no NRA in 1931, when the short was produced.

What was the NRA?
@@patsirianni7984 National Recovery Administration
Yes, I was wondering about that too.
National Recovery Administration. Designed to help the nation out of the Great Depression. You will see it on many movie credits of the time.

Other Hal Roach series didn’t get the TV play that Our Gang and Laurel & Hardy did (and probably for good reason).
Hey, it's Our Gang's grandma!
Fans of Laurel & Hardy are sure to spot Charley Hall and Billy Gilbert.
wow
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where's the fat guy and that skinny guy?? Where???
