Production notes
Silent film.
This Tom and Jerry are not the same characters from the popular MGM Tom and Jerry series. This Tom and Jerry were the original characters of that name, and were developed by Van Beuren Studios. They're a Mutt and Jeff-ish pair: one is tall and skinny, the other short and plump.
The characters in this cartoon were renamed "Dick and Larry" for home market release.
This cartoon and "Laundry Blues" (1930) were described by the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival as "a pair of cartoons that reveal an incredible range of derogatory stereotypes of blacks, gays, Chinese, Italians and Jews."
