An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Bum Voyage, the 1934 Nick Grinde screwball comedy short (produced by Hal Roach) starring Thelma Todd, Patsy Kelly, Adrian Rosley, Noah Young, Germaine De Neel, and Charles Gemora (as the gorilla). Note that Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly made 22 comedy shorts together between 1933 and 1935 (they stopped making them when Thelma Todd died, and the last of them was released in 1936 after her death). They were made by Hal Roach for MGM, and they were a rare female comedy team! She had previously made 17 similar shorts with Zasu Pitts from 1931 to 1933. Note that starting in 1929 and continuing into the 1940s, Charles Gemora played gorillas in many movies, likely because he owned a gorilla suit, and could do a somewhat convincing job portraying a gorilla. Just a few years later, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan would also start playing gorillas, and no doubt they competed for roles in every movie requiring a gorilla!
