We get to see a little of the Lucy that became the comedic genius in “I Love Lucy”. She knew she was gorgeous, and wasn’t afraid to pull a funny face. I’m her biggest fan!
Amazing to see the revival of all these 2 reeel / 20 - 30 min Shorts. They were meant to fill the Double - Bill Programs but also served at Training Workshops for New Directors and Contract Players to hone their craft and for producers to see if they were viable talents ready for the big time.
Back then, men were the dominanting the screen. I like to seek information on cast and their behind the story. Sometimes I look at birthdays and death's.
Men were dominating the screen? You must not watch many movies from the period. How about Jean Harlow. Katherine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Myrna Loy, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Miriam Hopkins, Clara Bow, Gloria Swanson, Marie Dressler, Carole Lombard, and Claudette Colbert? And those are just the few I can remember off the top of my head. There were dozens of leading ladies who were just as famous and just as well paid as their male counterparts, probably even more so.
These short comedy reels used to be played as part of an afternoon or evening’s entertainment. There would be one or more comedy shorts, a news reel and a cartoon all before the “feature” picture for something like 25¢. This was one by the time I came along, I do have early memories of a cartoon sometimes being shown before a film. (If there is someone who actually lived during those days can correct or expand on this, please do. I’m reporting from what I’ve learned, not from actual experience.)
WGN channel 9 in Chicago use to play these a lot on Friday night's the late show the late late show and the the early morning show and fill in with these to go from 10 at night to 5 30 in the morning when the national anthem came on and then the farm report this was back in the day when tv stopped at midnight and didn't come on until morning
@@pamczech5984 I wasn’t around back then, but several Silent and Baby Boomer aged people have told me this stuff would be played late at night before TV went off the air at midnight. I’m sure a lot of old Disney and Warner Bros cartoons got played just before a feature film was shown. Before cable TV and internet, many older films gained new audiences at the drive in theaters.
Lucy haunts her old Beverly Hills home, or so I’ve been told. People have reported hearing things up in the attic, and once they’re up there they can see a tall, lean figure in the form of Lucille Ball.

Thank you! I enjoyed that so much. I miss all of the REAL actors and actresses. Good clean comedy. Nothing like today.
Watching a young Lucille giggling like that was a real treasure
What a cute short film
Yes
That part actually sounded dubbed.
What a genious show!! The comedy back then was so good!!!
“Genious “?
That's what we in the trade call irony.
Lovely short film ❤🍿 🎥 Thank you for sharing this!!!!☺️👏🏼👏🏼
Lucille was such a genius.
Love her, a incredible actress, model.💞
It’s always interesting to see Lucille Ball in her early movies.
Wow....this was proves Lucy was "in training" for her "I Love Lucy" sitcom for two decades ! You can see her ditzy comedic style already !

Cute, I enjoyed this; Thank-You!
(Reminds Me of a silent-film; I’m sure that Lucille saw many of those, growing-up!)
Goodness. My 91 year old mother was 4 years old when this was filmed. I didn't realize Lucy was that much older than my mom.
She was born in 1911.
Lucy’s dead, can’t get any older.
That kid is telling his mother everything he heard. 😂
How could filmmakers not have seen the potential there? Lucy should have been a bigger star sooner.
But if that had happened, I highly doubt I Love Lucy would have existed. Everything worked out, perfectly! 😁😉👍👍
I read years ago, Lucy wouldn’t play games on the casting couch.

I love comedy when laughter is not added as cue! Actors make you laugh.
I was not expecting to laugh so hard!
And a classic cord motorcar !😊
This was all kinds of crazy 😊😊😊😊😊
I have stage door with Lucy ginger and katherine and several other stars
One of my favorite films. A tour de force of female actresses. Some of the best acting ever filmed.
Those wings!! What a hoot!
The main actors in old movies are reallly old. Someone’s grand parents.
Dang - she's gorgeous! And so funny!
Lucy was around 24 - 25 when this was made. Very young looking face and a long lean figure.
She was funny before most people knew her.
That is a magnificent car- Cord.
That automobile!!!!!🙆♀️
Lucy stealing all the scenes ..😮... LOL...

Well, it was a good Leon Errol RKO comedy. Vivian Oakland was funny as usual. Lucy did a good job in her part playing the maid.
Leon Errol had a long career. His shorts at RKO were plentiful.
❤ Funny picture 😂 Never seen this Episode 🤣🤣🤩
Good clean comedy when all was actually funny. 😀
Wow I'm looking for Lucy every where in the movie didn't realize she was the maid, she was so young,🤣🤣
this looks very modern.
It's an early 1930's Cord.
She also did a short with the stooges
I would love to see Lucy with the Stooges
Surprised this actually made me laugh.
Not as good as the Columbia shorts of the era (Three Stooges, Harry Langdon, Shemp Howard, Charlie Chase), but still watchable.
Lucille said in this film:I so love foreigners.So true.Married one.
They called Lucy the B movie actress
Yah, it was goony but it made me laugh...
Lucy is only 24 or 25 years old here- VERY young.
Lol now she's one live ghost living in her Attic lol
Hope to meet her in that attic 😀😀
Lucy haunts her old Beverly Hills home, or so I’ve been told. People have reported hearing things up in the attic, and once they’re up there they can see a tall, lean figure in the form of Lucille Ball.
למה אין תרגום
L as.
I assumed that a movie with Lucille Ball would be a comedy. I couldn't even tell what was supposed to be funny about it.
Are you that dim.
