captured in this fine selection of early sound shorts. THE GOLF SPECIALIST
(1930) Calamities on the course abound in this re-creation of one of Fields
vaudeville acts. With Monte Brice. THE DENTIST (1932) Hilarious goings on
with typical comedic golfing in the morning, then the classic scenes with Fields
pulling and drilling a woman's dental work, which at one time was banned because
it was considered "suggestive." Also stars Leslie Pearce, Babe Kane,
Elise Cavanna, Zedna Farley, Bud Jamison, and Bobby Dunn. THE PHARMACIST
(1933) Fields is hilarious as the pharmacist with the whining daughter, pushy
wife, goofy customers, obnoxious children, and other laugh filled situations
that could only occur in Field's drugstore. Comedy genius to watch again and
again.
