5.4/10

The Student's Romance
5.5/10
A Student's Romance was based on the operetta I Lost My Heart in Heidelburg, which in turn owed a lot to that old chestnut The Student Prince. In 1825, impoverished composer Max (Patric Knowles) enrolls at Heidelburg University. Local girl Veronika (Carol Goodner) falls in love with Max, helping him to finance his education and clear his debts. Alas, Veronika is left out in the cold when Max becomes enamored with gorgeous tourist Helene (Grete Natzler). Little does he know that Helene is the daughter of the Grand Duke (Ivan Simpson), meaning of course that their romance is doomed to disappointment. Leading lady Grete Natzler later changed her screen name to Della Lynd, and under that cognomen co-starred with Laurel & Hardy in Swiss Miss (1938).

The Fighting Dude
5.8/10
Lupino Lane (The Dude) and his younger brother, Wallace Lupino (The Rival) are at it once again. I love the introductory cards for some of the old comedy shorts. In this case about Lupino Lane's character, it reads: "A poor little rich boy with not enough to do, and not enough energy to do it." Lane, the proverbial 98 pound weakling falls for a girl whose" intended" is a big handsome man.

Soon the inebriated man himself begins to cause disruptions, with his overly emphatic opinions of the various acts.
