  2. What's the ad about Trump trying to say, he's not doing things fast enough? Compared to what? Last Corona Virus? He's doing the same as all other countries, just trying to keep people alive until one of the 57 Virus specialists figure this thing out. Typical Dems always blowing smoke cause they don't have any damaging facts.

  6. Love Zasu Pitts! Wish they could have had part of the story about how the young boxer got along with Emma taking the reins while living with her sisters!

  9. 15:00   "Ma Barker." really…….    Old lady?!!!   She was 48 when this was released!    32:00…a zombie…..Yeah!    What IS a horse's neck?

  11. “De Camp town ladies sing dis song…Doo dah doo dah…” Sigh… 55 yrs. ago,when I was 12, my older brother and I were forced to take piano lessons because my Grandmother wanted us to “be cultured”, Mrs. Brickle pinched my cheeks one too many times. I marched directly home and told my folks that I didn’t care what punishment might be doled out, I was NOT going to go back to her house-EVER. Ironically I can still play that piano which sits 15’ from me right now. It still has the lesson books in the piano bench. I store my pistols in it ?? Are hollow points a sign of culture? Hmmm maybe GranMary would approve, as long as they were “of high quality”and I practiced at the Country Club.

  18. If this story was remade today, thrre'd be "Security" (and bottle-rockets) up the yingyang. ZaSu wouldn'ta got anywhere near the palooka as at (18:45) she does here, & if she had they'da pasted her a good one. ZaSu left the building just in time. If you didn't get off by 1960, there was no more point to take a fast train—from then on, it's been The Pitts.

  21. The banner headline of the newspaper was misspelled! ("Rex Crenshaw Kidnaped!") That could not have been accidental–way too obvious–but why would they have done in on purpose? Inside joke? Topical reference lost in the mists of time? Whatever the reason, I'm completely baffled. Any ideas, anyone?

  25. I can't see the name, Zasu Pitts, in print without hearing Johnny Carson saying her name in my imagination. Have to be of a certain age to have heard Johnny say her name.

  32. This is weird, because I never knew this movie existed, but for years, I have the rejoinder, "So's your Aunt Sally!" Granted, not exactly the same, but who would've figured?
