Attempting to describe the
humor in this or practically any
other Ray Griffith film is
rather difficult, for there are
several kinds. At its peaks,
his humor resembles a pictorial
transcription of the funning
spirits of Lewis Carroll and
Pirandello. At its worst it is
a poor imitation of the spirit
of Mack Sennett.
"And throughout Ray Crit
fith's starring career these
widely different types of comedy
have beer rolled into one and
the same film, with the result
that audiences have never quite
known what any of them were
all about. Evidently the pur-
posely injected slapstick in the
Griffith pictures has confused
those who liked the clever satire,
and vice versa, and SO there
must still be a deal of truth in
the old adage that in the
theater or the movies trying to
straddle and to please the public
by mixing little of everything
is the surest way to bore it.
