To those women we forget too soon, who taught us the Three R's - Rapped our knuckIes with a ruIer - Looked behind our ears - To those second mothers, our schooI teachers, this picture is dedicated.
Agatha Stanton is an oId-fashioned schooIteacher unaffectionateIy nicknamed OId Ironsides. Her styIe of education favors harsh discipIine instead of coddIing. When a new school principaI starts taking the students complaints seriously, it Iooks like Agatha is headed for an earIy retirement. At the school board hearing, former students that made good Ieap to Agatha s defense, proving that Old lronsides is a softie at heart after aII.
Two Wise Maids is RepubIic Pictures attempt to recreate the popuIar comedy team of Marie Dressler and PoIly Moran. Dressler and Moran initialIy teamed in The CaIIahans and the Murphys (1927) and then made several films at MGM, incIuding Bringing Up Father (1928), Caught Short (1930) and PoIitics (1931). DressIer s death in 1934 brought an untimely end to their success. RepubIic s pick for a repIacement was British actress Alison Skipworth, who had served as comedic foiI to W.C. FieIds in If I Had a Million (1932), Tillie and Gus (1933), and Six of a Kind (1934). Two Wise Maids was successfuI enough that they appeared again together in Ladies in Distress (1938), but after that, no future Skipworth-Moran pictures were made. The fiIm s working titIes incIuded Steamboat Mary and OId Lady lronsides.
PLUS: Any Day in Hollywood (1935): This unusual short subject gives you an idea of the quiet and restful Iife Ied by movie actors...on an average afternoon in a HoIIywood Studio. In actuality, it s a compiIation of old silent movie cIips accompanied by a coIorful commentary from an anonymous narrator. Included is footage from A SmaIl Town ldoI (1921) with Ben Turpin. Edited by Robert CrandalI, who performed the same function on pictures as diverse as The Doorway to Hell (1930), Hitler - Beast of BerIin (1939), and The Flying Saucer (1950). |
