So's Your Old Man

Gregory La Cava, Famous Players-Lasky / Paramount, 1926, from Julian Street. W. C. Fields as a small-town inventor and fake princess fiasco, Alice Joyce. Silent, shot at Astoria, about sixty-six minutes. Fields between stage and talkies, the juggling replaced by a lie that gets out of hand. La Cava letting the town committee do the antagonist work. Remade with sound as You're Telling Me! The title is an insult he would have liked.
