[Dixielandjazz] The Fatal Glass of Beer

[Hal Vickery]

I'm 99.999% certaint hat the line, "I think I'll go out and milk the elk,"
is indeed originally in "The Fatal Glass of Beer."  It's been awhile since
I've seen it, but I've seen it a lot more than "My Little Chickadee," and
I'm certain he says it before he opens the door and gets some fake snow
thrown in his face.

Hal, just a small correction, but it puts the line into one of those
completely politically incorrect Fields' modes. It was said to his "faithful
Indian companion" in My Little Chickadee, the one that he used as a
stepstool to alight from his bed . . . . 

"Go back to the reservation and milk your elk."

Best regards,

Ah,, Don,  you brought up one of the all time great Field's films.  In
addition too, "It aint a fit night out for man nor beast,"  the other great
line in the movie is, "The city isn't a fit place for a woman, but pretty
men go there."

Best
Bill
