It's great to see more of these late '20s Educationals, especially in such nice quality.
They had a really good stock company going on at this point. Always nice to see Clem Beauchamp and Wallace Lupino doing their thing.
And is that Anita Garvin as the lady in the cabin window at 3.30?

She looks like Anita to me. She may have been married to Beauchamp at this time. A sly dirty joke proffered by the writers of this short. Newlywed Al and his wife receive a telegram as they board their ship. The ship is named in the telegram as the USS Hymen.

Hey There Matthew, welcome to the Group.

Yep, that's Anita allright, as Tommie said, she was married to Clem Beauchamp at the time (it ended when she caught him in bed with underage Muriel Evans) and was working in a number of Educationals.

Far from the only Oscar Winner to be caught cheating on his wife (or her husband)
