No. 163 / 20 m / d Del Lord / st scr Felix Adler / e James Sweeney / ph Henry Freulich / C: Bobby Burns (Prof. Fuller), Jack Duffy (Bearded Man), Elinor Vandivere (Dignified Woman), Phyllis Fine, Joan Howard (Girls Playing Hopscotch), Phyllis Crane (Model in Tights), and Wm. Irving (Man Curly Asks for Meal)

SYN: Without jobs, and down on their luck, the Stooges decide that the only way to find employment is to create work. So they grab three brooms in front of a nearby novelty store and begin cleaning up the sidewalks. The store's owner, however, views this act of kindness as an act of robbery and screams for the police, who chase the Stooges right into Kraft's College of Arts. In the art school they ruin an artists masterpiece, teach a young female model all about the endangered grouse, and muddy up the joint with a clay-throwing free-for-all. They ruin the studio and show all the reasons why they are definitely not descendants of Rembrandt.

Quick Hits:

- When the Stooges appear in drag Curly does his Mae West impression.

 

FN: Moes daughter Joan, and Larry's daughter, Phyllis, appear together in the hopscotch sequence. It was the only time the two girls appeared with their fathers in a Stooges comedy.
