    • Trivia
      When told the police are on the premises, Billy Gilbert replies "Vas you dere, Charlie?" Jack Pearl, as Baron Munchausen, had made this line famous on the radio and later in films, and audiences of 1933 would certainly get the joke. Gilbert not only mimicked Pearl's voice, but also physically resembled him.

      Zasu: Oh, I'm so tired I'm nearly dead.

      Thelma: Yeah? Well I pushed up my eighth daisy two hours ago.

    Zasu Turns It On

    Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts need some extra money, so they decide to become taxi dancers at Billy Gilbert's dance hall. Anita Garvin instructs them on how to earn extra money, but Zasu doesn't start to put it into action until the morals society shows up.

    This episode of the GIRL FRIENDS series from Roach is one of the better ones, thanks to Billy and Anita. Thelma spends a lot of time doing a goggle-eyed reation and the band heats up. Lots of fun.
