UNACCUSTOMED AS WE ARE Photo

UNACCUSTOMED AS WE ARE was Laurel and Hardy's first talking picture*. The story involved Thelma Todd losing her dress due to an accident with the oven, leading to attempts to hide her in a trunk and then to trouble with her husband, played by Edgar Kennedy.

This particular publicity photo shows Stan Laurel in the trunk, a scene that I do not remember being in the actual movie.

*Hence the title, which is a reference to speakers appearing before a group and prefacing their efforts with an announcement that they are unaccustomed to public speaking.
