When Edgar Dreams, It's Not Of Jeanie

Edgar discovers he has until the next day to move out, or to marry brother-in-law Jack Rice off. The entire family goes to have dinner with Rice's girlfried.... which is the start of their real problem.

A lot of the gags in this late-period Edgar Kennedy short look like their pulled from a Three Stooges comedy: the studs popping out of the dickey dress shirt, the bad singing, and so forth. Still, the basis of any of the shorts in Kennedy's THE COMMON MAN series, which ran from 1931 through his death in 1948, was the fractured and fractious relationship between him and his in-laws, and there's that a-plenty. Even so, the Stooges-like gags make it a less typical and poorer entry in the series.
