| Facts •The 129th film in the series. •Production G-22 - Our Gang series. •Copyrighted May 25, 1934. •Some sources list Bess Flowers as the maid. This is incorrect. •Mickey Daniels provides the voice of Algebra. Did you notice? •The donkey's name is Algebra. •The guy on the bicycle who crashes into the post box is Pete Gordon. He is the same guy who rides his bicycle into Hollenbeck Park lake in Laurel & Hardy's "Men O' War". •The scene where the cop stops the car in the street and asks Don Barclay about the mule takes place outside a shop that has the sign "Honolulu Steamship Co." in its windows. This is a reference to Laurel & Hardy's "Sons Of The Desert" (1933). |
