When told the police are on the premises, Billy Gilbert replies "Vas you dere, Charlie?" Jack Pearl, as Baron Munchausen, had made this line famous on the radio and later in films, and audiences of 1933 would certainly get the joke. Gilbert not only mimicked Pearl's voice, but also physically resembled him.
There is a red hot dance number that plays twice; once during a regular dance, then when Zasu Pitts seduces the Prude. That number is actually a record sold in any record store; and a classic! It is "Jubilee Stomp" recorded 1928 by the Duke Ellington Orchestra. (The jazz band in the short is not the Duke Ellington Orchestra; they are merely pantomiming playing that number.)
Debut of actress Kay Lavelle.
