I'll go out on a limb here, dare to disagree with what seems to be the majority opinion, and boldly state that I like the Charley Chase era. There are better plots, sometimes music, and the stooges ( not in this one, particularly, but coming soon ) seem a bit more human, a bit more realistic, without going soft. I realize that there are many who think that the stooges helping babies, or even just interacting in any way with babies, is soft beyond redemption, and much prefer the episodes where the three of them are locked all by themselves onto a one-room set and just pound each other into misshapen pulps, but I'm not one of those. And, as someone else has observed, just when you begin to think that Charley's too wimpy, out comes the dynamite, of which this one's a prime example.
