Featured review
Questionable Humor
Happy Days (1926)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
This short was taken from the famous Winnie Winkle comic strip with Ethelyn Gibson playing her here in one quick sequence. The main story here is her kid sister Perry (Billie Butts) whose gang enters a baseball game against their rival gang. While watching this film I couldn't help but think of the Our Gang series, which was certainly more entertaining and featured plenty more laughs. I was really shocked at how unfunny this thing was and even though I'm really not familiar with the comic strip, I don't think that's the reason I didn't enjoy this film more. The biggest problem is that every joke took the obvious route, which made the film appear even more dull than it might have been otherwise. Not only is the film rather flat and unfunny but we get some rather typical for the time humor with the black kid, with white lips, getting the majority of the abuse. The strange thing is that the good guys clubhouse has KKK written on their door and of course the only black kid happens to be on the other team. How something like this got through even in 1926 is beyond me but it certainly left me scratching my head.
