Dear Diary,
Naturally there were a couple of reviews of “They Got Me Covered” in the papers today. Both reviewers seemed to agree that Bob saved from oblivion a picture that “tried too hard” to be funny. I’ll admit that the plot was a bit thin, and that I never heard of a newspaperman as muddled as the one Bob portrayed, but I disagree with John Rosenfield that Bob is better at verbal gags than pantomimes. I say that Bob would have been as good in silent pictures as in talkies, and I’ve heard several writers voice the same opinion. The other reviewer said Bob’s personality made a success of the picture.
