They Learned About Women (1930)





Van and Schenck, big rhythm and harmony boys, make melodious whoopee in their first talkie. The story, which concerns the trials of baseball and vaudeville, is slight and the stars sing better than they act. "He's That Kind of a Pal" is the hit of the show. A dance number led by that yaller gal, Nina May, is dragged in, and Bessie Love gets self-sacrificing again.
