Tastes Change
It's a variation on the already old comedy chase short about the man pursued by a bevy of women who want marry him -- for an earlier example, take a look at HOW A FRENCH NOBLEMAN FOUND A WIFE THROUGH THE NEW YORK HERALD from five years earlier. In this one, Andre Deed is afflicted by his irresistible beauty -- while dressed up as a comedy creature hideous to the eye of the discerning movie-goer.
Deed was already a regular in short comedy, playing Cretinetti or Boireau regularly -- in those days, the character was owned by the studio, so the mostly anonymous comic had to adopt a new name when he shifted studios. He would continue regular production of these shorts through the middle of the following decade, and would appear in shorts and features through 1938, a couple of years before his death.
