흥미로운 사실

Start Cheering is a 1938 American musical film directed by Albert S. Rogell and starring Jimmy Durante, Charles Starrett, Joan Perry, and Walter Connolly. It is best remembered today for guest appearances throughout the film by The Three Stooges, who were Columbia Pictures' short subject headliners at the time, as campus firemen. The film's choreography was by Danny Dare.

Production

Production began in October 1937 under the title Freshman Follies. One of the original songs, "Start Cheering," became the new film title. Many members of Columbia's stock company played incidental roles, and some of them appear twice in different roles and costumes.

Charles Starrett was established as Columbia's cowboy star, and petitioned his employers to cast him in modern-day stories. Start Cheering was Starrett's only opportunity along these lines; Columbia returned him to westerns, and he remained with Columbia until his retirement in 1952.

The ingenue in Start Cheering, Joan Perry, made such an impression on Columbia president Harry Cohn that he proposed marriage to her. They were wed until Cohn's death in 1958.

Specialty performer Chaz Chase does his vaudeville act periodically during the film: he eats everything on his person: pages from books, flowers, buttons, etc.
