Who is on Flip's Red Carpet?

Movie stars drop by for the opening of Flip’s drug store/cafeteria in Flip’s Soda Squirt (1933). Do I need to explain who any of these people are? Flip is covering the opening for radio, I see.



M-G-M, which released the Flip cartoons, turned Durante and Keaton into a comedy team for a few pictures. Laurel and Hardy they weren’t.



Okay, a bit of an explanation. Rasputin and the Empress was an Oscar-winning movie released by M-G-M in 1932. Lionel Barrymore played the evil hyponotist.

There’s room for a Paramount star in this premiere, too.

Joe E. Brown shows up later in the short, as does Tyrell Davis and his swish act.
