Featured review
Creating Music
The Two College Nuts (1929)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Billy Edison and Charlie Gregory, appearing as Edison and Gregory, are the stars of this Vitaphone short that has the two men creating some music. This isn't your typical music as they use a variety of remodeled musical instruments as well as things like a rubber glove, air hose and tire to come up with their unique sounds. I enjoy watching these Vitaphone shorts because often times the acts, straight from vaudeville, never appeared in any other movies so these films are the only way to see them. That's the case here as the team of Edison and Gregory were only to appear in one movie and this is it. For the most part I wasn't bowled over by the act but it was certainly interesting enough to spend the seven-minutes on. Neither man was overly photogenic but their strange act of creating music was mildly entertaining.
