This is staggering! I love these two. It was truly sad at my boyhood home when Gracie passed away too soon in ‘64. Gracie stopped performing in 1958, she dealt with heart issues, but she had a legendary career!
Absolutely charming. 25 years later they did the same routine on television.
This film was such a hit that for years when George and Gracie toured live and started any routine other than this one, the audience would roar “LAMBCHOPS!”
What a delight, and to think this was over 90 years ago.
They were so cute.
Breaking the fourth wall from Day One!
Wow he still had that same raspy voice even in his early thirties
Smoking cigars since he was 11. I remember going with my grandad to the doctor and the doctor asked him if he smoked and he said he did, then he asked when did you start? My grandad said when I started work. When was that? When I was 11.
He looks like he was in his 20s. It’s weird to remember that in the 60s-80s, the people who invented the film industry were still alive. It feels like ancient history in 2024.
Perfectly said! That's how I have felt, too
They were both in their early 30's when this was filmed but they always looked younger.
Brilliant! Their best skit! And thank you WBD!
honed to razor's edge
This was the skit that got both George and Gracie on the road to fame. 😁
They performed this routine numerous times in vaudeville until it was honed perfectly. 🙂
Love these guys.
so good
Their first appearnce on film, orginally released in October 1929. According to George, his agent called him one day in the late summer of '29, and said the studio wanted he and Gracie to fill in for Fred Allen (at virtually the last minute) at the Brooklyn Vitaphone studio. The set was a living room, and George had to figure out how to introduce them on screen. He got the idea of having he and Gracie enter, "looking for something"- until George "noticed" the audience watching them, telling Gracie, "There they are!", and went right into their routine. They earned $1700 for this short. Supposedly, George wasn't wearing his toupee, and kept his hat on during the entire performance.
Did he already have a toupee at 33?
He stated, in "Gracie: A Love Story", *"One of us besides Gracie had been wearing a toupee since that person was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and the other person had never said a word about it."*
I love her voice long time
How pretty Gracie was and what a lovely 👗 dress!
Say goodnight, Gracie.
"In the Hush of the Night" is heard under the opening credits.
My faves!!!
Love it
Classic comic royalty, They don't make them like that anymore........
I am 28 in a few days January 22nd
@@Enochulate88 Happy Birthday......
Very classy….interrogation comedy🏝🥪
True or False. This short was filmed at the old Vitagraph Studio In Brooklyn New York correct? I await your answer.
(as Ed McMahon) "You are correct, sir!" 😁
Are the words "first and" REALLY necessary?!
So why couldn't/didn't they show this on tcm tonight?
I have this on my DVR from 11:45pm on 4/1. Looks like they didn’t do a good job of programming because this video aired during the block of the previous title they had programmed that night. Sometimes they don’t do a good job mapping the programming blocks when they’re showing a lot of short films like this one
Instead of a para shoot they give seats as a flotation device ..... I asked then why they gave me no answer
Them
