A week and a half after the final retakes for "It's A Bear" (no. 27), the 'start' date for "High Society" arrived on Mar. 24th. S hooting continued until the 'finish' date of Apr. 5th. No shooting took place on Mar. 30th, which was a Sunday. The 1924 datebook indicates that some Our Gang 'tests' were shot on Tuesday, Apr. 8th, with no production number given.
