CLASS 4 — Comedies and Juvenile 117
During the confusion at the pier, their small daughter wanders off and in the excitement to get aboard they take a colored child with them. With the wrong child on their hands, their baggage lost overboard and brotherin-law, Remington, tagging along, they start. The ship is in disrepair, water spouts up from the stateroom floor, the lifeboats are unseaworthy and even life preservers sink, all of which furnishes plenty of amusement to the audience as they are discovered.
On arrival at the port of destination, they are about to be forced to return because Remington has never been vaccinated, but he is disposed of by one of the crew, much to Charley's relief. Their daughter arrives by airplane, bringing this very funny picture to a happy ending.

4158 Code GEKOR Be Your Age Hal Roach
Featuring Charley Chase and Oliver Hardy
Charlie, the bashful clerk in a lawyer's office and heavily in his debt, is forced to propose to a wealthy client, Mrs. Swartzkopple, a widow, so that the lawyer can manage the estate left by her husband.
At the widow's party, Charley dances attention on her, urged all the while by the lawyer who keeps close watch to see that no opportunity is lost.
The action is rapid and is carried on as only Charley Chase can do. His moments of embarrassment and his mistakes in not recognizing voices and partially hidden persons separated from him by bushes and canopies in the garden, are most entertaining.
