For example, Joan Woodbury’s “Lola” (El-Low-El-Lay - Low-La?) definitely knew what she was doing being a seductress thief - and I have an old Hollywood crush on Ms. Woodbury, having seen her in a few other things. Another one of those why weren’t they with The Stooges cases. Anyway - watching her seduce and steal from a hapless Clyde was quite entertaining. That alone was worth the price of admission.
But wait, there’s more. I dig the atmosphere of the back stage area and club, the amount of extras screams budget for Columbia standards - and there’s more funny stuff. Agreed about the pretzel tie up thing at the beginning, I was laughing pretty hard. The mirror scene, done by The Marx Brothers, but also Max Linder, Charley Chase, Billy West, and some dude named Chaplin in variations, - yeah true, it’s been done better, but I was entertained here just the same.

Does she have that hair in the other times you've seen her? It looked like she had a blonde wig on to me.

Definitely a blonde wig, Joan Woodbury had dark hair. I’ve also seen her in KING OF THE ZOMBIES and ROGUES TAVERN.

Just looked up Joan Woodbury’s credits further - here’s an interesting one. For you guys who know BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, you know the scene of the miniature people in the jar? Joan Woodbury was the queen.
