Laughing 20's melts resistance with the team's first co-starring effort, Putting Pants on Philip, made in 1926 under Supervising Director Leo Mc-Carey, with George Stevens as cameraman. Stan plays a kilted skirt-chaser, accompanied by shamefaced Ollie through shrewdly orchestrated slapstick etudes. From Soup to Nuts is a tiny masterpiece of physical comedy, as rigorously controlled as ballet in its step-by-step demolition of an elegant dinner party by two nincompoop waiters for whom a dog, a banana peel, three whipped-cream cakes, and a lady in a sliding tiara...

...girls had imported bright, flowery muu muus from Hawaii to wear after surfing. But muu muus were originally thought up by missionaries to cover up the exposed breasts of the native women. The kids trimmed off the excess material, accentuated the bodice for trim fit, slit the skirt for free movement, and finished it all off with yards of ruffles and flourishes. When enough of the home-grown variety showed up on the street, store buyers decided it was a fad worth cashing in on. Selling at $10 to $15, store-bought grannies have spread to Chicago, Manhattan and Pittsburgh...
