Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history, and deservedly so, so I am happy to see any of their films. Basically newly rich Mrs. Culpepper (A Chump at Oxford's Anita Garvin) has planned a big dinner party, eager to make a good impression in high society, but her husband (Tiny Sandford) is less enthusiastic, as she has learn more society ways. Worse is to come as they have hired short notice waiters, Stan and Ollie of course, and they turn out to be clumsy and pretty inexperienced. Ollie gets his face into a big cream cake not once, but three times, and Stan serves the salad undressed, no, literally, this joke also appeared in A Chump at Oxford. Filled with good slapstick and all classic comedy you want from a black and white film, it is an enjoyable silent film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Worth watching!
