Feed 'em and Weep

This is the first of my reviews of three shorts starring the comedy team of Anita Garvin and Marion Byron. Never heard of them? Neither did I but I recently found out about them when looking up one of their shorts on the Wikipedia site. None of their shorts are showcased in articles but the site listed their names so I looked up Marion Byron because I knew less about her than I did about Anita Garvin who I've seen in several Laurel & Hardy films. It seems Hal Roach, having seen how successful Stan & Ollie were as a team had the idea to do a female version and thought Anita and Marion would do. Well, judging by their first outing, they are indeed funny as beginning waitresses working for Max Davidson at a train station restaurant. Lots of visual gags involving food, pratfalls, and moving doors abound to hilarious effect, that's for sure! Some scenes were missing so some stills were substituted as well as some intertitles explaining some of the missing scenes. So on that note, I highly recommend Feed 'em and Weep. Next, I'll review Going Ga-Ga.
