Over a period of several years I saw all of the 190 shorts and recorded a description of each film in a notebook. I've now transcibed my material to electronic form and have uploaded it for your reading pleasure. I've included some additional cast information from the book "Movie Comedy Teams" by Leonard Maltin (1974) and have added comments following some of the descriptions. I've also rated each short on a 1-5 star basis. Mitch Shapiro ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
