Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThough there are many states with towns/cities named "Pittsburg" (e.g., California, Kansas), when only the city name is specified, it normally refers to Pittsburgh, PA. While the federal government did designate Pittsburgh to be "Pittsburg, PA" from 1891-1911, by the time of this movie short, the correct spelling included the "h" at the end.
- ConnectionsAlternate-language version of La señorita de Chicago (1931)
Featured review
Charley Chase was one of the funniest old-time movie comedians, and made hundreds of two reelers. "The Pip From Pittsburgh" is not one of his best but is representative of Charley's everyman style, presenting 'everyman' in various goofy situations. Here, he is accompanied by the tragic Thelma Todd, who would become the victim of one of Hollywood's unsolved murders just three years later. She had a genuine flair for comedy and could be called an early Carole Lombard.
As stated, the humor is pretty ordinary in "The Pip", because I am thinking of many other Charley Chase shorts which were funnier. But I am not going to lowball a short by one of Hollywood's funniest - not on your life. If you haven't seen him before, just know that he is even funnier in some other shorts.
