Wikipedia article
'The Still Alarm' (1930) is a short film starring the comedians Fred Allen and Clifton Webb, and directed by Roy Mack. The film was based on a skit by George S. Kaufman and released by Warner Brothers as a Vitaphone film. Allen was a vaudeville comedian, but in 1929 sound films destroyed the vaudeville market.
This film represented a rare teaming of Allen and Webb. A year earlier, Allen had acted in a short film titled 'The Installment Collector'. This 10-minute film occupied one reel and still survives.[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021417/ IMDB entry]
In 1934, Allen started his own radio show, with his wife Portland Hoffa, but made few other films himself.
