Okay Toots! (1935)
5/10
Weaker Chase Short
16 August 2021
Charley Chase quarrels with wife Jeanie Roberts and goes up to take a nap. He dreams that he has become Miss Roberts, and she him, by switching voices.

It's a gimmicky little film, with one or two good lines, but the big gag is hearing Miss Roberts' squeaky voice coming out of Chase's mouth. There are lots of fine comics in this one, not only the usual second-stringers that show up in all sorts of Roach shorts, but also Ferdinand Munier, Queen of the Dress Extras Bess Flowers -- she actually gets a line here -- and Hattie McDaniel, but Miss Roberts' helium voice is actively annoying.
