LEM PUTT, THE SPECIALIST (1930): Charles 'Chic' Sale performs a monologue from his best-selling humor book The Specialist, about a carpenter who builds outhouses. Unfortunately, his success backfired on him when his name then became popular slang for 'toilet' in the 1930s and 40s.

JUST A PAIN IN THE PARLOR (1932): A high society party goes awry when country bumpkin Harry Sweet is invited. Also featuring Billy Gilbert and Vernon Dent. Directed by George Marshall.

A SLIP AT THE SWITCH (1932): Blundering station agent 'Chic' Sale is robbed by two hobos (Bud Jamison and Charlie Hall). Director Mark Sandrich would later become renowned for his work with Fred Astaire, including The Gay Divorcee (1934), Top Hat (1935), and Holiday Inn (1942).
