Review of You Dear Boy!

In one of her most hysterically funny shorts, Vera pretends to be looney to get out of an engagement to a man she hasn't seen in years, unaware that the charming man she's falling for on the train is that former Alfred E. Neumann look-a-like. When Vague arrives, she immediately begins insulting all the guests, pushing a few of them in the pool, letting a canary (which she claims is a chicken) loose, and puts future mother-in-law Minerva Urecal in danger of having a nervous breakdown. Urecal calls the local asylum, but when her son (the handsome Douglas Drake) shows up, it makes matters worse as Vague tries to explain, digging herself in deeper. It's screwy from start to finish and oh so delightful.
