joe penner made the most his short time in the radio and movies. he was adored by the kids in the mid 1930's and died a little eaarly. i saw this movie as a kid and couldn't waiuntil he got on the screen
Joe Penner was caricatured in several Warner Bros. cartoons from the 30s. The character Egghead is based on Penner. Watch the cartoon "Cinderella Meets Fella" directed by Tex Avery, and note the way Egghead acts and talks. It's totally based off Penner!
A little bit of Joe Penner is a LOT! But one can never get too much of Lyda Roberti! If you liked this, don't miss 'perfectjazz78's' other entry from this same film...Take A Number from One to Ten - Lyda really cooks as a cheerleader. THANK YOU "PERFECTJAZZ78" - Paramount Musicals were in a class of their own. Totally demented, plus great music and entertainment.
Lyda Roberti was amazing, and sadly, she left us far too soon. The way she tugs at her short skirt in this number is so obviously suggestive... WOOF!!

I thought this was supposed to be a "lost" film. Glad to see a potion of it-
the officious guy in the cap and gown is played by Franklin Pangborn who spent his whole career playing officious, effeminate characters.
