Mayoral candidate Oliver Hardy introduces the evening's entertainment. What distinguishes POLITIQUERIAS (and brings the house down wherever the film plays) is the extraordinary regurgitation act of "The Egyptian Enigma," Mr. Hadji Ali, shown here with his assistant. This unique performance was added for the Spanish-speaking version of CHICKENS COME HOME and truly must be seen to be believed. What candidate running for political office -- such as Oliver Hardy in this case -- wouldn't want to impress supporters at a black tie party with entertainment provided in one's own living room by somebody who starts a fire there and then belches a long, rainbow spray of water to extinguish the flames?
