A Firehouse Honeymoon

Sweet!

Harry Sweet and Lee Kinney are honeymooning at Niagara Falls. But there&apos;s a convention in town, and no rooms. Fortunately, local fireman Monte Collins offer them a bed at the firehouse. They accept, only to find the whole brigade also sleeps there.

Harry is a forgotten man these days, but a key player in silent comedy, both as an actor and director, and in the establishment of RKO as a comedy shorts powerhouse; he directed fifteen of Edgar Kennedy&apos;s THE COMMON MAN shorts before he died in 1933 at the age of 31, when a plan he was in went down into Big Bear Lake.

Here, under the direction of George Marshall, there are lots of fine touches, from the manner in which the eager newlyweds are told there are no rooms to be had, to the funny symbolic touches of firehoses, firehouse poles, and even locked doors. I&apos;ve seen the same situation used elsewhere, but never better.
