Thelma and Zasu go to a Turkish bath to try to get rid of a cold.

Funny, funny, funny! That last back projection shot is ridiculously out of scale...which is fine.

[Richard-tqf]

Why are not Thelma and Zazu much more famous. They are very funny.

[billsomody]

Zasu and Thelma really were a great comedy duo! So very funny!😊

[TheSpiralnotebook]

Thelma strapped to a jiggly chair....let's see Garbo do that!

The 30's answer to Laverne & Shirley!

i have always loved these 2 ladies, both seperately and together❤

at 14:38 notice how bruised up Zazu's leg is bruised up, probably from the mechanical horse

[kdjax]

Note the bruises on Zasu's legs, most likely from doing all those stunts, such as the saddle acrobatics, etc. Great clip! What amazing entertainment that is so rare to see nowadays. Thank you

The Great Depression is raging, Threats of war are just starting.
The theater cost, maybe 2 or 3 cents. The news reels just played with all the bad news.
Then the comedy plays.

[xrashtiks]

Thank you so much, this one has been hard to find online except for clips.

Poor Zasu has big dark bruises on her legs @14:50

[nostromo]

Not sure how they fared but this sure cured what ails me!

[donnarouse]

Was Zasu ever picked for the portrayal of olive oil

I think that Hal Roach owned about a dozen records and used them as music beds for all of his movies. Little Rascals, this one, and others.

My past life is Thelma Todd, and I'm A boy but Semador and or Pareey!

[LionheartNh]

Wonderful...like a Laurel and Hardy female counterpart.

[jeffreyfridkis]

The background music in this Pitts-Todd short was also used in Laurel and Hardy and Little Rascals shorts.

[donnarouse]

It seems she had the actions of the cartoon

I suppose somebody thought it was funny.
Those who produced it!
