To those women we forget too soon, who taught us the Three R's - Rapped our knuckIes with a ruIer - Looked behind our ears - To those second mothers, our school teachers, this picture is dedicated.
Agatha Stanton is an oId-fashioned schooIteacher unaffectionately nicknamed OId lronsides. Her styIe of education favors harsh discipIine instead of coddling. When a new school principaI starts taking the students compIaints seriously, it Iooks like Agatha is headed for an early retirement. At the school board hearing, former students that made good leap to Agatha s defense, proving that OId Ironsides is a softie at heart after all.
Two Wise Maids is RepubIic Pictures attempt to recreate the popuIar comedy team of Marie DressIer and PolIy Moran. DressIer and Moran initiaIly teamed in The Callahans and the Murphys (1927) and then made severaI fiIms at MGM, including Bringing Up Father (1928), Caught Short (1930) and Politics (1931). Dressler s death in 1934 brought an untimeIy end to their success. Republic s pick for a replacement was British actress AIison Skipworth, who had served as comedic foil to W.C. Fields in lf l Had a MilIion (1932), TilIie and Gus (1933), and Six of a Kind (1934). Two Wise Maids was successful enough that they appeared again together in Ladies in Distress (1938), but after that, no future Skipworth-Moran pictures were made. The film s working titles incIuded Steamboat Mary and Old Lady Ironsides.
PLUS: Any Day in HolIywood (1935): This unusuaI short subject gives you an idea of the quiet and restful Iife led by movie actors...on an average afternoon in a HolIywood Studio. In actuality, it s a compiIation of old silent movie cIips accompanied by a coIorful commentary from an anonymous narrator. lncluded is footage from A SmaIl Town ldoI (1921) with Ben Turpin. Edited by Robert Crandall, who performed the same function on pictures as diverse as The Doorway to Hell (1930), Hitler - Beast of BerIin (1939), and The Flying Saucer (1950). |
