But I am wondering what they call conservative. I recall a pie throwing fight in Jack Oakie's picture "Sea Legs." About 75 gobs get playful in a French sweet shop.

It seems to me that this a fairly difficult stunt, when you consider divers' suits weigh a couple of hundred pounds. Rogers in "Heads Up" is discovered standing alone on the end of a lonely dark pier, when he suddenly bursts into song, not only to the accompaniment of a full orchestra, but also to the timely ob-ligato of a 15 or 20-voice male chorus, who come sailing along1 in a Viking ship. The time of the story is 1930. That's conservative, too.
