Curly's last performance before his series of strokes is one of his best
The Three Stooges often took potshots at high society, and this was their best attempt at doing so. To do this, not only did the Stooges themselves need to act like crass buffoons, but just as necessary were the supporting parts of upper class people to react to the Stooges' antics. Watch their reactions in the lemonade and turkey scenes (which are too funny to spoil here!), and you'll see what I mean. I almost lost it when the butler told the boys that they "reminded (him) of The Three Stooges".
As noted in the trivia section, Curly suffered the first of his disabling strokes toward the end of production of this short, and it shows in the scene he filmed after (the opening scene). But he did some great work elsewhere, and you would never guess how sick he was. It just shows what a genius he was, right up to the end.
