20.4 min. (Short Subject)
Horace Glutz is an expert on mushrooms and toadstools, drinks too much, and hen-pecked with in-laws from hell. A simple dinner party with the family, and Bertram's uninvited pool hall buddies, turns sour when the main dish of mushrooms turns out to have been toadstools... or was it?
Shemp has a small role, but is hilarious as Bertram's obnoxious pool hall buddy.

"MUSHROOMS:" {SAMUEL HORWITZ}: {SOLO SHORT SUBJECT}: {VITAPHONE PRODUCTIONS}: RELEASED ON: FEBRUARY 14, 1934:
We start growing "MUSHROOMS" at a Dinner Business Meeting in a very eleganté hotel meeting room that is decorated in dark walnut wood, with four oil paintings of landscapings. Plus on the walls there are four cut crystal lighting fixtures with three lights per fixture. Plus we are seeing and eleganté gold and red velvet banner with gold and red tassels and white enlayed words that reads as follows:
PURE FOOD
EXPERTS
ASSOCIATION
OF
AMERICA
We are now hearing the "PRESIDENT OF PURE FOOD ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA"; {RUSSELL HICKS}; giving a speech to his fellow colleagues:
"Food experts, fellow members, dieticians, and gentlemen. We're gathered here tonight for two reasons. First, to honour our distinguished guests, and secondly, to prove to ourselves, that no matter how much 'Pure Food' one eats, it never leaves you with that sluggish, drowsy, listless feeling. Am I right gentlemen?" {Here we are getting a shot on the colleague who are sitting at an eleganté dining table with a white linen table covering, white linen napkins, sterling silver cutlery and candlesticks with lit candles in them, and Dutch Delft Chinaware. The guests are dressed in tuxedos and are sitting there totally drunk, asleep, passed out or any combination of the three}:
We are now seeing 'The President Of Pure Food Association Of America'; popping a cork on a champagne bottle sending the cork and champagne flying into the aire as we are now seeing the drunken bunch of colleagues quickly coming too as they are now grabbing their champagne glasses and are jumping up as fast as they can and are now catching as much of the champagne as they can.
Here we are now seeing 'The President Of Pure Food Association Of America' taking his handkerchief from his left front tuxedo jacket pocket and is now wiping off some of the champagne off his jacket, as the other colleagues are now slightly awake as they are now enjoying the champagne that they had caught.
PRESIDENT OF PURE FOOD ASSOCIATION to the OTHER COLLEAGUES: {As he is now putting his handkerchief back into his left upper jacket pocket and has a serious look on his face as he is stating in a serious voice}: "We have with us tonight, as our honoured guest, one of the greatest 'Pure Food Experts', the world has ever known, "PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ"; {HARRY GRIBBON}:
We are now getting a shot of Professour Horace Glutz as he is sitting there with a pie-eyed look on his face, and is swaying from side to side, slightly sloshed as another colleague who is sitting by his left side is in the same manner is looking at him with a dazed look: {Here we are now hearing the other colleagues giving Professour Horace Glutz a huge round of applause, as Professour Glutz is now supporting a scared look as his mouth is againt and his eyes are bugging out out of his head}:
PRESIDENT OF PURE FOOD ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA to the OTHER COLLEAGUES: {As he is still using a serious voice and in continuing his introduction about Professour Horace Glutz}: "This man has made the world safe for mushroom lovers!"
Here we are now getting another shot of Professour Horace Glutz as he is trying his ever loving best to stand-up and take a bow as he now falls back into his chair with a really dazed and pie-eyed look and a wiry smile on his face.
PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ to the COLLEAGUE AT HIS LEFT SIDE: {As the very tipsy Professour Horace Glutz is now in the process of taking a lit candlestick and is dipping it into some veggie dip as the colleague at his left is looking at him with a worried look on his face as Professour Glutz is stating to him in a very slurred voice}: "I like asparagus!, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" {Here we are seeing the very crocked Professour Horace Glutz biting off the lit end of the candlestick and is eating it thinking that it is an asparagus stick}:
Poor plastered Professour Horace Glutz is now realising that he is now happily chowing down on a candlestick as he is now turning to his right side and is spitting it out onto the floor.
COLLEAGUE AT PROFESSOUR GLUTZ'S LEFT SIDE to PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ: {As the colleague is now tapping him on his left arm and is stating to him in a very slurred voice as he is now handing to Professour Glutz an unlit candlestick as he is thinking that it is an asparagus stick and is saying to him in a serious voice}: "Try this one, it's riper!"
We are now seeing Professour Horace Glutz with a really happy look on his face as he is now taking from the colleague at his left his "Asparagus Stick!"
PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ to the COLLEAGUE AT HIS LEFT: {As the two of them are still not in the sober world as Professour Glutz is stating to the colleague at his left in a very polite and skunked voice as he is now dipping the other "ASPARAGUS STICK!; {Oooops, CANDLESTICK}; into the veggie dip and is now taking a huge bite of it}: "Thank-you, ever-so-much!"
PRESIDENT OF PURE FOOD ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA to PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ: {As he is now looking at him with a really cnoncerned look and is whispering to him in a serious voice}: "Professour, Professour, they're wating for you!"
PLASTERED PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ to the PRESIDENT OF PURE FOOD ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA: {As he is now handing to him his "Asparagus" ---- {candlestick} as he is slightly staggering as he is now trying to go forwards and give his speech}: "Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh; excuse me, henha-henha-henha-henha-henha-henha; good stuff!"
PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ to the OTHER COLLEAGUES: {As he is now standing up to the best of his crocked ability at his place at the table and has a wiry look on his face as he is shouting to them in a really bombed out voice as he is slightly slurring his words}: "Gentlemen, and fellow expert fooders. No doubt it is hard for you to distinguish the difference between the toadstool and the mushroom. But, due to many years, research work in the mushroom field, I find it very simple. For an example, in this hand; {RIGHT}; I have the commone toadstool; peef-peef-peef-peef; poofie-poofie-poofie-poofie." {Here he has a mad look on his face as he is tossing {'What he thinks is the toadstool'}; away over his right shoulder onto the floor}: "But, in this hand; {LEFT}; I have a 'luscious mushroom; aaaah-aaaah-aaaah-aaaah-aaaah-aaaah!" {Here we are seeing him with a really contented look on his face as he is now happily sniffing 'What He Thinks Is The Mushroom'}: "I love a mushroom!" {Here he now has a sad look on his face and using a happy and teary voice}: "In fact, I love a parade!" "But, I love a mushroom better. I even eat them raw!" {Here we are seeing him eating his 'So-Called' mushroom in a total state of joy}:
We are now finding out that Professour Horace Glutz; {in his totally skunked state has now twisted things around a tad. As he has miss calculated things and called the "REAL MUSHROOM" a "TOADSTOOL" and visa-versa as he is now eating the real "TOADSTOOL" as The President Of Pure Food Association Of America is now jumping up in a really worried state and is whisper-yelling at Professour Horace Glutz in a worried voice about the mix-up.
PRESIDENT OF PURE FOOD ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA to PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ: {As he is now bending over and putting his hands on the table and with a really worried look as he is whispering to him in a really low and worried voice}: "Professour, you're eating the toadstool!"
PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ to the PRESIDENT OF PURE FOOD ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA and his OTHER COLLEAGUES: {As Professour GLutz now has a worried look and is stating to them in a garbbled mouth filled of toadstool voice}: "Awha-awha-awha-awha-awha-awha; haahwa-haahwa-haahwa-haahwa-haahwa-haahwa; what, what!?" {Here we are seeing Professour Horace Glutz now turning away and is spitting out quickly the toadstool as he is now making a quick and tipsy recovery in his mistake as he is now staggering up to the front of the other colleagues and is stating in a really slurred speech}: "Haha-haha-haha-haha-haha-haha; only proves, that toadstools are not poisoness unless swallowed. Now, Gentlemen, I want to thank-you for this dinner. You are all my friends, my pals, I'd go through anything for you!" {Here Professour Glutz is using hand gestures to support himself and was swaying to and fro and slightly shouting in a really carrying voice}:
We are now completing the Business Meeting Dinner as we are now seeing Professour Horace Glutz falling flat on his face totally drunk onto the table and is totally smucking the Dutch Delft Chinaware and the rest of the table.
We are now in the bathroom quarters of Professour Horace Glutz; {The bathroom is very well beat-out, the walls are dirty and chipped, there is bathroom paper scattered all over the floor. The black and white chequered flooring is dirty and marred up. There is also two lighting fixtures hanging from the walls with three naked light bulbs in each one. A dirty and chipped pedestal style of a white ceramic sink. One dirty glass widnow with a torn white lace window treatment. A bathing and hand towel rack on the left wall that is dirty and scratched up. Some dirty washins' tossed on the floor. A tarnished shower curtain rodding with a tattered ocean pattern curtain hanging from it. The bathing tub has seen a happier life, as it is chipped up white ceramic, with a shower head that is hanging loosely from the wall. Plus on the wall inside of the tub area, there is a painting on the wall that is slighty chipped of a rough ocean, pale bleu cloudless skyeline with a full sun in shine and eight Canadian Ganders flying through the skye.
Now we are seeing the very well bombed out Professour Horace Glutz in his nightware and house-coat as he is sitting on the edge of the bathing tub with a beat out little white painted stand by his left side with a huge pitcher of ice water and headache powder on it. He also has an ice bag on his head as he has a sick look on his face as he is moaning loudly ------ 'Yeowha-ooooh, yeowha-ooooh, yeowha-ooooh, yeowha-ooooh, yeowha-ooooh, as he is now nursing a really gigantic hang-over. He is now in the process of rubbing his face as his ice bag is now falling off of his head and he flinches in terrible pain. We are now seeing him shaking terribly as he is now grabbing for the water pitcher that is on the end stand by him: {I should state he is trying to take hold of the water pitcher - he has tried thrice and is unable to steady his hands enough to grab the water pitcher as we are seeing him trying his ever loving best to grab it as we are hearing "FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW" being played. He is now in the process of grabbing his bathing towel and is wrapping it around his neck as he is now extending the left side of the towel and is able to get a hold of the water pitcher as he is now pulling on the shorter right side of the towel to be able to get the pitcher so he can drink from it ------ which turns out to be a total success.
He has now dranken the entire large sized water pitcher of water as he has a really pie-eyed look on his face as some of the water is now drbbling down his chin as he is now staggering over to his medicine chest and firstly looks into the mirror as he flinches as he is now seeing what he looks like; pastey-faced, bloodshot eyes, that are bugging out of his head, and a sickish look on his face.
He is now opening his medicine chest looking for more headache powder but he has now hit himself hard on the forehead with the door. He is now staggering over to the cracked and dirty three-quarters length mirror that is on the back of the bathroom door as he is now looking at himself and seeing what a worn out and drunken mess that he is in and has a really tearie eyed look on his face.
PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ to his REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR: {As he is using hand gestures and is talking to himself in a crying voice}: "Oh, so you're a wiseguy, unha? You try to drink everything in sight. Well, you know it makes you sick, and you hate everybody and everything they've done, and all the things you've done yourself! I'd like to give you a good punch right in the nose!" {Right here at this cue we are now seeing his wife "DOTTIE GLUTZ"; {LORETTA SAYERS}; opening the bathroom door with a scared look on her face as she is now boinking her husband square on the nose with the bathroom door}: {She is dressed in a lovely ankle-length black velvet dress with a huge white lace v-neck collar, short-sleeves with white lace cuffs of the sleeves, flesh coloured stockins', black spiked heeled shoes and a black and white brochette pin}:
WIFE DOTTIE GLUTZ to her HUSBAND HORACE GLUTZ: {As she is now noticing that he ain't sober is looking at him with a mad look as she is stating to him in a really mad voice}: "Drunk, again?!"

HUSBAND HORACE GLUTZ to his WIFE DOTTIE GLUTZ: {As he is standing there swaying from side to side as he has a really bombed look on his face as he is stating to her in a really slurred and sick sounding voice}: "Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh; let me alone, I think I'm gonna be sick!"
WIFE DOTTIE GLUTZ to her HUSBAND HORACE GLUTZ: {As she is still standing in their bathroom with a really sarcastic look on her face as she is stating to him in a really sarcastic voice as she has her arms crossed}: "Ehya, you better straighten yourself out, Mother's coming!"

He has a really dazed and sick look on his face as he too is looking in the mirror}:
HUSBAND HORACE GLUTZ to his WIFE DOTTIE GLUTZ: {As she is now opening the medicine chest and is looking in it as he is looking at her with a really sick look as he is asking her in a really sarcastic and slurred voice}: "What, are you looking for?"

WIFE DOTTIE GLUTZ to her HUSBAND HORACE GLUTZ: {As she is giving him a really ugly look and is stomping out of their bathroom in utter disgust}: "Henha-henha-henha-henha-henha-henha-henha-henha; hemph=hemph=hemph-hemph-hemph-hemp-hemph-hemph!"
PROFESSOUR HORACE GLUTZ: {As he has a mad look on his face and is now tossing the razor back into their medicine chest as he is now walking to the bathroom door and is taking a quick peek out of it to see if the coast is clear, is now looking at himself in the mirror in utter disgust}: "Oh, what's the use. Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh; yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!"
We are hearing now the front door buzzar ringing; {which is of dark cherry wood with a bevelled and stained glass full length window in it}: as Dottie is now answering it.

They are now becoming happy that they are all right as they are now falling back to the floor, their chairs, and davenportes in states of happiness, but yet, what next, what is going to happen to us now.
