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.

Featured review
This is just classic timeless comedy. A man (Charlie Chase) is set up on a blind date by his roommate for a dance. Charlie is leery because his roommate set him up with "the pip from Pittsburgh" who Charlie did not find very attractive. So he wears an old dirty suit, does not shave, and eats garlic to repel the girl. Unfortunately, the girl is the charming Thelma Todd. So on the way to and at the dance Charlie has to come up with clever ways to shave without a razor, freshen his breath, and change into his new suit, which his roommate happens to be wearing. Also at the dance is "The Pip" who still has quite a crush on Charlie. It's not like Charlie and Thelma had long meaningful conversations in these shorts, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. The whole thing ends rather abruptly and predictably, but it is the hilarious journey in this one, not the destination, that is so alluring.
