They do one clever, satirical skit, in which a radio play is presented; in which all the spoken lines are made to contain stage directions and descriptions. Julius Tannen and his oddly trained seal with a rose-colored muffler, are also on hand. But the best part is still Moran and Mack, lackadaisical, lethargic, ridiculous dialogue comedians...
