For the record, I pulled “Extra! Extra!” (1931), another RKO Frank McHugh comedy short, b/c the sound was noticeably more wonky than the other films on the playlist. You can check it out for free here (https://youtu.be/fol8Tu3EE30?si=Br4VrboynDaElZA5)

For the record: Frank McHugh isn’t in “The Stolen Jools” (1931) but it was produced by the private social club “The Masquers Club of Hollywood” , who would also play a hand in making a few comedy shorts starring Frank McHugh in the early 1930s

In the first dozen or so years of his film career (1930-mid1940s), Frank McHugh made approximately 90 feature films! His frequent co-stars & friends William Powell & Aline MacMahon would rival that with 60 & 40 films, respectively, during that time

And the man of the hour: Frank McHugh (May 23, 1898 – Sept. 11, 1981), who was from a theatrical family. He struck out on his own in 1930 and quickly made his way into film & later TV, where he easily cornered the market on being the (often tipsy) comic relief
