I grew up with this film because my dad had a copy of it in 8mm film since the late 30's or early 40's. For some reason, the comedy in it doesn't get old. The scene of Gymnasium Jim getting ready to go to bed makes me laugh each time I see it. When I was a kid, the scene of the car going into the small building never ceased to amaze me and I loved the scene of the bike rider. It must have been something for them to make some of those train scenes in those days. I would love to have a couple of copies of this film on DVD so that my brother and sister can have a copy and stop trying to 'steal' the original that I have! Since this was the very first film I ever saw, it holds a special spot in my heart. I wish there was a way to know more about the little dog who belonged to Gymnasium Jim's girlfriend.
