Nowadays, we’re lucky if we get to see anything before the start of a feature other than fifteen advertisements and a dozen trailers for movies we don’t want to see, along with an exhortation not to bootleg the film that hasn’t actually started yet. Back in the 1930s, though, moviegoers were often treated to hilarious short films by the literary humorist Robert Benchley. Kino Video has a whole DVD collection of these shorts available, but it doesn’t include our favorite, the Oscar-winning How to Sleep. Luckily, YouTube comes through again. — Leonard Pierce
