Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"The Stolen Jools" is this film's original title. It was made by the National Vaudeville Artists (NVA) as part of a charity campaign and distributed free to theatres in 1931. After the showing a live speaker would come out and request donations. The film was rediscovered in 1972 in Britain, where it had been released in 1932 as "The Slippery Pearls," one of the Masquers Club comedy series for RKO. Subsequently a U.S. print was discovered and the film's true title, origin and purpose were at last known.
- GoofsOn Detective Kane's pawn ticket, "saxophone" is misspelled "saxaphone."
- Alternate versionsOriginal release included several musical numbers, including ones performed by Dorothy Lee, Warner Baxter and Maurice Chevalier. Prints of this original version survive, but all circulating prints derive from the Blackhawk Films version which cut the musical numbers out in the interest of copyright. This cut version is the only one that has ever been released on the home movie market, video or DVD. The original cut does survive in Blackhawk Films' collection.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Our Gang Story (1994)
Featured review
Blink and you'll miss a star
20 minute short film PACKED with some of the biggest film stars of the
day.
The premise is that at a major Hollywood party Norma Shearer's jewels are
stolen. A detective interviews all the stars who were at the party.
Barbara Stanwyck, Irene Dunne, Gary Cooper, Joan Crawford and best buddy
William Haines, Buster Keaton....and so many more stars. The story is not
too funny, and in some cases not very well acted, case in point look at
Norma Shearer herself, but if you are able to find this on VHS or DVD I
suggest you watch it.
