Featuring Shemp Howard (Solo)
20 min. (Short Subject)
The stage show "Smiles of '34" is doing poorly at the box office, and the owner of the theater is demanding his due! When the troupe cannot pay their bills, Mr. Dora (the blind-without-glasses owner of a hotel) decides that the troupe can work off their debt by helping him overcome the rush of his booked "Farmer's Convention." Mr. Brown (the director of the stage show) hatches a plan to save him and his troupe from a summer of "actual" work. He romances Mrs. Dora while the female lead of the troupe sings through the hotel phone for an audition. The audition goes great, but Mr. Brown and his troupe must escape the wrath of Mr. Dora who discovers Brown flirting with his wife and tries to exact his revenge with his long time knife-throwing skills.

SMILES OF '34
LAST PERFORMANCE TO-NITE
We are now on the stage where we see the lead singer Donna dressed in a beautiful white, full length satin dress. She is slightly bent over as she is doing a soft shoe style of a dance as she is using hand gestures to support the words of the song, {she has her hands on her waist, then she is swaying to and fro and then she is running her fingers across her eyes}.
DONNA SINGING: "That's all there is, there isn't any more. You saw the hero win the girl which made the villian sore. We'd like to show what happened when he took her to the door."
We now see Mr. Walter Brown entering onto the stage smiling happily as he is waving his hat to and fro and Donna is standing there with her hands on her waist and a giant smile on her face.
MR. BROWN SINGING: (In a sing-song style of a voice): "But, that's all there is, ha, there isn't any more."
Donna is now waving her hand at Mr. Brown playfully as she looks away smiling as he is hiding his face under his hat like he is embarrassed, then he is showing a sheepish smile.
We now see "the Girlfriends" singers entering onto the stage as they are doing a march style of a tap dance as they too, are dressed in beautiful full length white satin dresses. They are now singing in unison as they are waving their arms to and fro.
THE GIRLFRIENDS SINGING: "That's all there is, there isn't any more. You saw our charming chorus do a fancy terpsichore."
We are now back on Donna and Mr. Walter Brown as they are swinging their arms and are doing a soft shoe dance style as they are singing in unison with looks of glee on their faces.
WALTER and DONNA SINGING: (In unison): "They also do a fan dance where the fan drops to the floor."
We are now on the entire cast of singers as they are raising their arms in the air as they are singing in a sing-song style of a voice in unison: "WHOOO!"
We now see Donna and "the Girlfriends" swaying to and fro with huge smiles on their faces as they are now singing in unison:
Donna and "the Girlfriends' are now doing a soft shoe dance style and are waving their hands to a fro as they are singing in unison.
DONNA and the GIRLFRIENDS: (Singing in unison): "We thank-you all, for your party of four. We hate to go but we have to because, that's all there is, there isn't any more. We hope you like the story and we hope you like the score, and this is our finalé. So like I said before, that's all there is, there isn't any more."
As the girls were singing, Donna was doing a soft shoe dance. The 'Girlfriends' were doing a fan dance style of dance.
Now we now see Shemp and his Four Stooges coming on the stage dancing in circles as they are doing a Can-Can style of a dance and are kicking each other in their backsides then they are slapping one another and then they are doing a line style of a Can-Can dance.
GRAND FINALÉ OF THE SONG:
In unison as they are swaying from side to side and are waving their hands to and fro. As they are now singing in unison.
WALTER, DONNA, and the GIRLFRIENDS: "That's all there is, there isn't any more. We hope you like the story and we hope you like the score, and this our finalé, and like I said before, that's all there is there isn't any more, 'Whooo!' {Donna is down on one knee with her hands spread sideways while the 'Girlfriends' have their arms raised in the air}.

We are now looking at a humongous assortment of different kinds of veggies along with some chickens and pigs. We also see one cute, little, adorable, sweet piglet as he is rooting on the floor.

Instead of Shemp's Stooge hitting the gong with his mallet to signal that it is supper time Shemp has now hit him hard on the forehead with the gong instead.
The gong has now sounded. We see the entire hotel full of guests running frantically into the dinning hall quarters to get their grub.

Would like to say this was one of Shemp's best solo shorts. He and His Four Stooges were awesomely wonderful, (they were as comical, or to me a tad more), than the Real Stooges.
Plus it offered a wonderful blend of old stage song and dance routines with straight acting. It also gave a flavouring of Olde Vaudeville Days, (Mr. Dora's knife throwing act).
Plus the theme song they chose for this short was perfect, it suited every situation in the short, "So Long, Farewell, There Isn't Anymore!"
This was a really fun and enjoyable short to watch. Shemp was awesome here. Deffinately 4 eyepokes
