| Goofs | The Boys have told their wives that they're going to the Orpheum Theatre with their boss. The theatre burns down and newspapers are on the street within minutes ! The wives get a copy and the headline is in the middle of the top part of the paper under what appears to be a cartoon sketch. After the Boys return home Ollie is describing the acts they saw. Stan sees the paper with the headline in the same position but when he holds it up to show Ollie it's a banner headline across the top of the paper. See more » |
