Drug Store Follies

released: 1937 Sep 03   duration: 0:10:23

A Columbia "Variety Favorites" short (production number 3952) featuring Texas Jim Lewis and his Lone Star Cowboys performing on a drug store set, hence the title, and includes comic bits by stuttering Roscoe Ates.

At 01:41, comic juggler George Moore works behind the soda fountain of the drug store and serves a lemonade by first juggling 3 lemons. He then does several pancake tricks with a frying pan. But when a worker happens to walk by carrying a scrub brush, 2 buckets, and a broom, he grabs them all and juggles all 4 items, making 17 throws and catching them all cleanly.

The entire movie may be seen here.
