Wait a minute! That’s not a woman, that’s Bert Wheeler in drag — and the movie is the 1931 Wheeler and Woolsey opus PEACH O’RENO! Pretty sneaky, Larry . . .

You are getting playful! I just read about Cora Witherspoon in the Charles Brackett diaries. They were friends from New York. He alludes to her drug habit.

Ah, it wouldn’t be Friday without Bert Wheeler and Bob Woolsey. Just watched this movie again yesterday — still a splendidly silly romp, and I love to watch Bert & Bob dance. Thanks again for pulling this one out, Larry!
