An interesting short that I caught by accident on TCM. It should be noted that this is more of a piece of history than anything else. Willie and Eugene are clearly out of their element. Their performances are a bit wooden, but a couple vaudevillians would probably be that way in front of a camera and without an audience to play to. The routine is pure shtick, featuring lots of one liners and a goofy song routine that goes on a bit too long. Again, some of the bits would have played better if there had been a live audience or if I had seen this in a movie theater. Though this short doesn't do them justice, you wonder what it would have been like seeing the Howard Brothers live on a vaudeville stage.
