Dr Pyckle did have higher hopes for this transformation than to someone who steals ice cream and scares ladies with loud noises! It is very funny, once we get to the Mr Pride stage. It is also interesting to see Stan Laurel without Oliver Hardy, we were still a couple of years from their immortal double act. This is quite a different performance in many ways, playing both title roles gave Laurel a lot of scope to show just how versatile he was as a performer.
