There were several series made by professional acting fraternities in the early 1930's. Without a doubt the best of them were made by the Masquer's Club and RKO. Their humor was offbeat, sound effects mixed up. Highly recommended. -------------- From The Masquers Club website: In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. "This shall be a theatrical club of love, loyalty, and laughter!" finalized Edeson. Then, proposing a toast, he declared, "To the Masquers! We Laugh to Win!" The first general meeting and election of officers was held on May 25th, and that date became the official birthday of The Masquers. The club, in a converted house at Yucca and McCadden Streets, was formally opened on June lst of the same year - and the rest is Hollywood history. |
