The Wages of Tin 1925

Glen Tryon is learning to drive. He rents a car from Noah Young, gets thirty seconds of instruction from George Rowe and takes girlfriend Blanche Mehaffey for a spin in this fine Roach comedy.Tryon was the latest in a series of normal-looking comedians for Roach that had started with Harold Lloyd’s “Glass” character. While he was a capable performer and Roach’s staff knew how to make a comedy with almost anyone, there was something apparently missing, so Tryon eventually moved on to Universal and a long and successful career largely behind the camera.
