Not A Comedy For Anyone Who Ever Had To Hire Someone

Florence Turner is a new employee at the box factory. She is more interested in chewing gum than actually working, and any time anything goes wrong, she cries. She sniffles, she moans, she kvetches. So they send her to Edwin Phillips' department, where he will, presumably, beat her to a pulp.

There is some nice crowd direction here. The other actresses are amused by Miss Turner's idiotic newbie in direct proportion to her distance from them. One of the women up close is Flora Finch, who is not at all amused.

I didn't find this short particularly amusing. In large part, that's because I've had to deal with employees, some of whom viewed the job with indifference.... heck, I recall a few jobs I didn't care about, but then remembered they were paying me. As a result, I thought the film was annoying.
