Listening In

Arthur Stone is married to Nancy Lyon. Through a mixup, a judge thinks he's engaged to Dorothy Granger and marries them. Miss Lyon finds out.

One of the issues I have with Mack Sennett's movies in this period, and especially those directed by Leslie Pearce, is they are little more than a collection of gags on a theme. This might strike you as an odd thing to complain about in a comedy, but even the most farcical movie needs the connective tissue of an actual story to make it more than a revue. Pearce didn't seem to care, assuming, of course, that his writers gave him anything to work with.

With George Byron, Marvin Loback, and John Waldron.
