"NO NOISE"
Featuring the original cast of Our Gang this is one of the comedies that brought international fame to Hal Roach and his band of juvenile comedians. It opens with Mickey in the hospital, bemoaning the fact that he has to take castor oil. Mary and the rest of the Gang come to visit him. They drag Mickey out of bed and run through their football practice in the corridors of the hospital. They snoop into the laboratories and get jolted by an electrical machine. The doctors and nurses decide to frighten the youngsters by pretending they are going to operate on them. They round up the gang and get Mickey back in bed. Then it is discovered that all this excitement has increased Mickey's temperature and he is forced to take another big dose of castor oil.
Everybody, from the smallest child to the grandmother, will get a bunch of laughs out of this funfest.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Here is one of the early Chaplin comedies, typical of those which started the great comedian on his road to international fame. In it Charlie plays the part of the prop man in a cheap vaudeville theatre. His assistant is an old man with long whiskers. Together they engage in some hilarious horse-play, juggling the actors' trunks around and quarreling with each other. The troupe includes the Goo Goo sisters, a strong man and his fair assistant, Mr. Ham and Miss Fat, who put on a dramatic skit, and a tenor singer. There is a lot of squabbling as to who shall occupy the star's dressing room, the strongest arguments being presented by the strong man in favor of his act. Charlie is drinking beer frOm a pitcher when the beautiful Goo Goo sisters appear on the scene. He hides the half full pitcher inside his capacious trousers and then bends over to pick up a purse dropped by one of the girls. You'll have to see the film to find out what happened then.
The second part of this funny film shows the performance in full swing. The strong man tears his tights and sends them out for the prop man to mend. Charlie uses them for a scrub-rag. It comes time for the strong man's act and he goes in search of his tights. While he is on the stage arguing with Charlie, the curtain goes up and catches the strong man unawares in his underwear. The comedy closes with Charlie playing the hose on everybody, including the audience. Among the most laughable features of this funfest are the costumes worn by the women (which were not intended to be funny when the picture was produced.) Everybody, young and old alike, will enjoy this rollicking, slap-stick comedy.
