Very energetic and funny. Mutt and Jeff cartoons are pretty much overlooked by animation historians, but at least this one is as well made as the more acclaimed series from Disney, Fleischer, and Pat Sullivan (Felix the Cat). Mutt and Jeff enter the Soviet Union celebrating they have no income tax or prohibition. But they are quickly attacked by a bomb throwing golfer, then by wolves. Like most silent cartoons it is pretty much just a succession of gags, but they come fast and are often surreal. Silent cartoons shorts can be on the pokey side. Not here. Too bad no credits are listed.. it would be interesting to know if the main animators involved went on to do sound cartoons.
