Laurel and Hardy's heads were shaved for their appearance in this film, and their hair had not yet grown back in their roles in Max Davidson's "Call of the Cuckoos" (1927), released a week after this film.
This was the first Laurel and Hardy film to be released by "MGM."
This is one of the few films in the Laurel & Hardy canon in which they don't use their own names.
The gag in which Stan chases a cherry from his fruit salad round the table, was repeated in the Laurel and Hardy film "From Soup to Nuts" by Anita Garvin.
When Stan's hair began to grow back after being shaved for this short, it grew straight up and unruly. He was horrified until it drew laughs; at that point he decided to cultivate the "haystack" look, and even developed a mannerism of pulling it up when he scratched his head.
