Today's Video Link

About twenty of you wrote to say that our alert to the Wheeler and Woolsey festival on TCM led to you becoming fans of the world's most obscure movie comedy team. Here's a "politically incorrect" clip from a film they made in 1933 called So This is Africa. If the number reminds you of Groucho's "Hooray for Captain Spaulding"...well, maybe that's because it was written by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, the same guys who wrote the Marx tune.

Robert Woolsey is the one in the loud suit. Bert Wheeler is the other guy.
