Notes: Split almost evenly between the top and bottom of the bill, this Columbia comedy was hampered by so many Tuesday bookings (6th overall) that it could not find a place in the EF top 100. Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town and The Story of GI Joe were its usual partners although it picked up a number of later slots with other supports.
