Three Hollywood Girls

Leota Lane, Phyllis Crane, and Rita Flynn are three hopefuls new to Hollywood. They find the going a lot tougher than they expected, until Eddie Nugent shows up with a script for an old-time melodrama.

It's the first of the "Hollywood Girls" shorts that Jack White produced for Educational Pictures during the sound era. Clearly director Roscoe Arbuckle is uncertain of how to pace comedies during the sound era, and a lot of the two reels is used in establishing character. It's clear that with a script co-written by James Gleason, that there's a lot of possibility in the series idea, but the viewing was not helped by a wonky sound track.
